If you are missing sizzling temperatures, there could be some good news around the corner. A weather forecast is suggesting the mercury could soar to a 30C high in the first week of July.
The weather could change from Sunday before a blast of heat affects the south east of England, the senior meteorologist at British Weather Services, Jim Dale, has said. Before then, there could be a cooler few days.
Mr Dale told the Express: “The situation will be improving on Sunday (July 3) and warming up again into the following week with high temperatures of 30C in south east England based on current trends.”
WX Charts, an interactive weather forecasting map, suggests two days where 30C highs will be reached and several days where the humidity will still see temperatures sitting in the high 20s. It shows Sunday, July 3 looking far more pleasant, with 25C predicted throughout the day.
By Monday, July 4 the south east will see a slight increase to 27C and by Wednesday, July 6 it will reach 29C in central London, Sussex and Kent, dropping to 28C in Hertfordshire, Essex and Cambridgeshire.
It forecasts Thursday, July 7 when temperatures first peak at 30C inland, with 29C predicted for Essex and 27C highs in the Midlands and Manchester. In Essex, Kent and Sussex, 30C highs will stick around into Friday, July 8 too.
When it comes to the second weekend of July, temperatures will start to slowly decline with 28C and 26C temperatures being the hottest for the country. But this slight cooling off period will come to an abrupt end as temperatures are set to hit 29C to 30C again on Tuesday, July 12.
The Met Office is also forecasting above average temperatures as we head towards the middle of July. It said it could also feel 'rather warm'.

The period will start with scattered showers and sunny spells for most, gradually easing from the west through Sunday. More settled conditions are expected into the start of next week, although with a risk of showers at times continuing in the north.
A generally more settled regime persists for much of this period, although occasional spells of more organised cloud and rain may continue to affect northern parts at times. Southern and eastern areas are most likely to see a good deal of dry and sunny conditions through the period.
Temperatures feeling near normal to rather cool in the northwest, although likely increasing above normal towards the end of the period as settled conditions become more widespread. In the south and east, temperatures above average to rather warm.
