Heatwave temperatures of up to 32C to hit UK on Sunday as Met Office names 8 areas - full list Temperatures in multiple areas of the UK will 'exceed' heatwave thresholds as regions are expected to become 'very warm' throughout the weekend Temperatures will soar to 32C over the next few days as the Met Office has named eight areas that are due to face scorching weather conditions. Forecasters said the UK will "exceed" its heatwave threshold temperatures this weekend, with the heat continuing into Monday, June 22. Temperatures as set to rise from Friday, June 19, as parts in the south of England will experience highs of 30C. Mercury levels will then go up to 32C by Sunday, June 21, across the south and southeast of England, the Met Office has confirmed. Jo Farrow, a weather expert from Netweather.tv, wrote: "This hot air will sway across the English Channel into SE Britain on Friday and over more of southern Britain by Sunday into Monday. "Temperatures for East Anglia, London and the Home Counties and more of southern England will move into the high 20s and for some the low 30s. "This means that the UK heatwave threshold temperatures will be exceeded, and over the weekend into Monday, the qualifying ‘three consecutive days’ looks very likely. "Sunday looks sunnier and dry as high pressure builds over the UK. Temperatures in the south could be 27 to perhaps 32 or 33C later this week, into Monday." The Met Office forecast states that temperatures are "expected to climb steadily" as southern parts of England will approach 30C by Friday, depending on cloud cover, and "becoming very warm more widely through the weekend". The forecast reads: "Some areas in the south and southeast of England are likely to see heatwave criteria met by Saturday and more widely on Sunday, with the potential for temperatures to reach the low 30s in the warmest locations. "Headline maximum temperatures for the period are: 32C on Friday in East Anglia, 28C on Saturday as the warmest air temporarily shifts away from the UK, 32C in the south and southeast of England on Sunday and the potential for 33C in the same areas on Monday as warm conditions build again from the south."
