The UK is expected to experience a new spell of very hot weather, with multiple forecasts projecting temperatures rising into the high 20s and low-to-mid 30s°C, and in places reaching up to 38C. Several outlets publish temperature “heat maps” identifying which parts of the country are likely to be hottest over the coming days and around the bank holiday weekend.

The reporting focuses on where heat may be most intense and how widespread it could be. Some sources cite the Met Office and discuss conditions that could meet criteria for an official heatwave in several regions, with forecasts suggesting multiple areas could see highs above 30C. Others highlight specific regional thresholds, such as heat surges of 35C in Scotland counties, or south-east England temperatures nearing 29C. While the exact numbers vary by model and location, the overall picture is of sustained warmth across large parts of the UK toward the end of the week and into the bank holiday period.
