Another UK heatwave possible after weekend Met Office weather warning

Given we are talking about the second half of next week and beyond, a long time off when it comes to the weather, there are question marks over who will see any potential heatwave, how hot it will get and how long it will last.

At the moment, like in the previous heatwaves, computer models are pointing to parts of central and eastern England seeing the highest temperatures. Some suggest we could again achieve temperatures around the 30C mark, possibly even higher. Much of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland however, are likely to be well below this.

Some of the heat potential may already be showing up in the longer-term forecasts on your weather app and online, but it is worth treating the forecasts with caution for now.

Changes in weather patterns to the west of the UK could disrupt the build of high pressure and southerly airflow that would help boost heat across eastern areas. A shift of wind direction or greater likelihood of cloud and showers would therefore limit the temperature rise.

Your BBC weather teams across the UK will keep you updated on any changes through the days ahead.
