Temperatures are likely to be above average next week, especially in the south, with each day getting warmer.
Forecasters said “very warm temperatures” were expected from the weekend onwards, with highs in the 20s and near 30s, with southern and eastern parts expected to see the best of the “fine and dry weather”.
But as rumors swirl of possible record July heat, Sky News weather producer Christopher England warned there was “significant uncertainty” about how warm it could get and it was “not currently possible” to accurately predict temperatures more than a week in advance .

He said: “Forecasts are becoming increasingly uncertain with the weather, with wide variations, so although above-average temperatures look likely next week, particularly in the south, it’s currently impossible to say how hot it will actually be and for how long there will be hot spells later.
In its long-range forecast, the Met Office said high pressure would build in from the southwest on Friday and it would “come to define this period”.
Temperatures next week could be “near or above average, to hot in the south.”

The second half of July is “likely to continue to bring generally fine and stable weather”, which could spread more widely across the UK, the Met Office said.
“Temperatures will be near or above normal, with July getting warmer. We may see some very warm or hot temperatures, especially in the south.”
