The latest weather maps indicate that the UK could soon be enjoying its first 29C heatwave of the year. With peak temperatures barely exceeding 25C, there has been no sign of sustained hot weather hitting the UK. However, a North African plume could hit the country before the end of the month. Counties such as Kent, Essex, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Greater London, Surrey, and Berkshire are due to experience highs of 28C. The Met Office's long-range forecast doesn't hint at a heatwave, but it does suggest temperatures are set to rise.
