Meteorologist Emma Salter said: “High pressure over the country will slip away on Wednesday and Thursday so it will be a couple of degrees fresher, unfortunately this will be barely noticeable. “There is another area of high pressure which will take charge later this week and temperatures will creep up towards the weekend when we could be back to 30C. “There will be a bit of cloud over the south which might make it feel slightly cooler but this will clear pretty rapidly. “Then we are back to stunning blue skies and sunshine and there is no sign of this weather breaking right up until the middle of July which is unusual.

“The long-range trend is for above-average temperatures staying until the end of July with only a couple of changeable spells in this period.” Exacta Weather forecaster James Madden said it is likely temperatures could creep towards the 38.5C record this month. He said: “Our model projections are consistently showing with high confidence temperatures in excess of 30C for many parts of the country through the first half of this month. "If things stay on track there is every opportunity that we could approach or go close to the all time maximum temperature record of 38.5C within this period.”
