The UK is forecast to experience a third heatwave of the year over the coming weekend and into early next week, with hot conditions expected to affect large parts of the country. Multiple reports say temperatures will peak around the low 30s Celsius at points during the period, with some forecasts suggesting highs close to 31C on Monday. The warm spell is described as moving through and concentrating particularly on southern areas, where conditions are expected to be hottest over several days. The outlook also indicates sustained warmth rather than a single short spike, with temperatures remaining elevated across the weekend before reaching their highest levels around early next week. While the specific figures vary by location and forecast day, both sources characterise the event as a notable rise in temperatures for the time of year and part of a recurring pattern of summer heat. Forecasters continue to monitor conditions to refine local temperature and timing estimates.
