Laura Tobin has predicted record-breaking high temperatures to hit the UK during this summer amid the climate crisis.
The meteorologist and Good Morning Britain star expects thermostats across the country to soar later this year.
Parts of the UK could see a prolonged hot spell, with temperatures reaching almost 40 degrees in some areas, according to the weather forecaster.
Speaking to the Mirror, the 40-year-old said that there is at least a 50 per cent chance that temperatures this summer could break records.
She said: “We always say the weather has a memory. So, we’ll often look back to previous ones. But I think we will have a prolonged hot spell.
“I think - like we have done nearly every single year - get to, or close to record-breaking highs.

But Laura stopped short at referring to the conditions as ‘good’ weather.
