Thunderstorms to rage in Scotland as scorching 40C heatwave could hit in weeks
29.06.2023 - 12:59 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Thundery showers and some localised flooding is expected to hit parts of the UK, including Scotland, ahead of a scorching 40C heatwave.
A Met Office spokesperson confirmed that there would be a "transition into a fresher and cooler regime" before there would be any sign of hot weather, reports the Mirror.
Thunderstorms are expected to emerge from the skies soon as low pressure migrates across the country, with wet weather presumably staying for a while into July. It comes as the Met Office spoke of the possibility of UK temperatures reaching as high as 40C next month.
Heavy rain is set to hit Scotland and northern parts of England, bringing with it fresher and cooler conditions.
The Met Office spokesperson added: "There is a front of rain moving through Scotland and parts of Northern Ireland and West Wales, moving from west to east, and there will be rain towards much of the northern half of the UK.
"There's a chance of some heavier showers in that band of rain (and) there's a chance of thundery activity as it moves to the south-east."
However, the UK is predicted to return to hot weather as 2023 is on track to have the hottest June on record since 1884 - and July is also looking pretty sweltering as well.
The Met Office's Mike Kendon said: "With only a few days of near-average temperatures forecast for the remainder of the month, overall this June will turn out to be provisionally the hottest June on record for the UK for both mean and average maximum temperature.
"Meteorologically, June started with high pressure over the UK bringing often settled and dry conditions with plenty of sunshine.
"Once that high pressure subsided, warm, humid air took charge over the UK, with 32.2C the highest temperature recorded so far this month
