Looking ahead to May 21, it could be another scorcher as temperatures again soar as high 25C as Britain enjoys a spring mini-heatwave.<\/p>\n

Warm temperatures will stretch as far north as Newcastle Upon Tyne, right down to Southampton, with the highest temperatures hitting Greater London and Lincolnshire, reports Express<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to Net Weather, the warmer conditions will start from as early as 9am where highs of 20C will sweep a number of cities, with others still expecting pleasant temperatures of between 16C and 19C.<\/p>\n

The East Midlands and south east are set to be the hottest areas, while west will also bask in the warm weather, with temperatures ranging between 20C and 23C.<\/p>\n

Over in the south west, Cornwall<\/a> temperatures will be slightly lower, around 17C to 20C<\/p>\n

WXChart maps, which use metdesk data, also shows dry weather will accompany the hot temperatures.<\/p>\n

According to the Met Office<\/a> Long Range forecast between Wednesday, May 14 and Friday, May 23, there doesn’t appear to be much chance of rain.<\/p>\n

However, it notes an increased “likelihood” of it in certain areas.<\/p>\n

It reads: “Dry, fine, and largely sunny conditions are most likely for the vast majority of the UK for at least the first week of this period (Wednesday until Sunday), as an area of high pressure builds to the north of the UK before settling right across the country and becoming slow moving.<\/p>\n

“This could stay in place right through the period, however beyond the first week there is an increasing likelihood that conditions could turn wetter and more unsettled as areas of rain, stronger winds, and possibly thunderstorms begin to approach from the west and\/or south.<\/p>\n

“Wind will mostly be light otherwise, with daytime temperatures generally above average throughout although there is a chance of some chilly nights in place.”<\/p>\n
