The weather forecasters, The Met Office, have also looked into next week’s weather and moving into July – although they warn the  forecasts for local detail are not as accurate.

The Met Office say: “When looking at forecasts beyond five days into the future, the chaotic nature of the atmosphere starts to come into play - small events currently over the Atlantic can have potentially significant impacts on our weather in the UK in several days' time.

“Therefore, whilst we can still forecast the general feel of the weather to a relatively high level of accuracy using our ensemble models, it becomes harder to offer local detail to as high a level of accuracy as our shorter range forecasts.”

The Met Office has shared the forecast for Sunday June 23 to Tuesday July 2.

A spokesman said: “Predominantly fine and settled through the period and for much of the country turning much warmer than we have seen in recent weeks.

“At first some thicker cloud could bring some outbreaks of mostly light rain, this mainly affecting western, especially north-western areas.

“However, for most it will be dry throughout, and likely to turn increasingly warm as we move into next week.

“There is a chance that this could persist for much of the rest of the period, turning increasingly hot, however by mid-next week we see a large range of outcomes.

“Some of which allow for a return of much cooler conditions and northerly winds for the latter part of next week. However, the trend toward much warmer conditions is preferred for now.”
