Heatwave for UK

Britain is set for a heatwave this week with parts of Ireland benefitting too in particular the Eastern side http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21/20090629/tuk-britain-set-for-week-long-heatwave-6323e80.html

Hot week for 28th June!

Yes possibly the hottest week yet of the Summer coming up in the next few days with teperatures exceeding 26c and higher in some place. The current high is 27.5c in Claremorris. It may be beat this week. After this though a cooler interlude for the week of 5th July.

Warm weather to last?

Well it certainly does look like there will be high temperatures and some warm sunshine in Ireland and the UK until next Tuesday at least ..... maybe in July the winds will swing to a cooler Northerly and though there will still be a fair amount of dry weather temperatures will plummet back to the mid teens. After a week of this the warm pattern with some thundery showers should return, showers should not be as plentiful as previous Summers though. Europe (France and Spain) are braced for some really hot (40c) weather to start July!

30c for first week of Wimbledon

Not a misprint. There are some early signs of hot days in part of next week as the High moves to the Eastern side of the British Isles (the more favoured position). So it would be a good bet that 30c will be reached in London at some stage. 24 or 25c will be expected here in Ireland.

Summer to Return?

If youve clicked here from the sister page you are probably looking for a Long Range Forecast so I will give you one for Ireland and Britain. This week will have a warm Tuesday of 20 to 24c , however it will be very cool on Wednesday and Thursday compared with showers and temperatures of 15 to 19c. As Low pressure is to the North the Azores High will make its first attempt of the Summer to push in. It may succeed this year. How far the "h" of the High gets over us will determine the warmth but some pleasant weather should ensue from Friday to at least midweek of the following week and temperatures will be around 20c at least.
