The Met Office has given its verdict on reports that the country faces a ‘flaming June’ with temperatures blasting past 30C. According to some reports the country is going to be sweltering next month with Brian Glaze, chief forecaster at The Weather Outlook, told the Daily Express that for “several days”, computer models suggested temperatures “will be climbing as we head towards the end of the month”.
He added: “The consistency means that although it isn’t certain to happen, confidence levels in a warm-up as June approaches are increasing. Mr Glaze predicted that updates show the chances of temperatures peaking at between 21C and 25C “to be over 50% by the end of May and in early June”, and that there was a chance that Britons could bake in highs between 26C and 30C.
He added: “The chance of them climbing to between 26C to 30C is lower, at around 10%, but it is worth keeping an eye on how things develop as the time approaches.”
