A mini heatwave is set to hit the UK from June 4 to June 6, 2024, with temperatures soaring up to 25°C. The South East and London expect the warmest conditions, while Scotland and regions north of Birmingham may experience temperatures dipping as low as 9°C. Weather experts attribute the heat surge to warm air moving in from France, with variable conditions, including sunny spells, showers, and possible thunderstorms, expected for the rest of June. In other news, recent sunny intervals followed severe flooding in northern England over the bank holiday weekend, with Carlisle recording 88mm of rain in just 48 hours. The Met Office forecasts showers in Scotland and Northern Ireland, while southeastern England could see temperatures in the low 20s°C.
