BRITAIN could scorch in 35C temperatures in mid July as a 10-day heatwave is on the cards, forecasters suggested.
Temperatures are expected to keep climbing to very hot conditions with a blistering hot weather heatwave is expected to hit in the coming weeks.
Over the next week, the mercury will reach 24C in London by 4pm on Thursday, July 7.
The following Monday, July 11, will welcome highs of 28C in the southeast, with London painted an angry red on charts, as are Southampton, Oxford and Cambridge.
The Weather Outlook forecaster Brian Gaze said he wouldn’t be surprised if we got 35C, but the Met Office believes the weather will be 30C.
Brian told The Sun: “At the moment long-range computer models are suggesting an increased likelihood of very warm conditions during the last third of July.
“Temperatures in the UK reached 32.7C earlier this month and typically the hottest weather of the summer comes in July or August. In recent years periods of extreme heat have become more common in the UK.
I wouldn't be surprised if temperatures climbed to 35C (91F). To put a little context on that, the hottest day in the entire decade of the 1980s was 34.4C.”

Your eyes are more sensitive than your skin
We know that we should protect our skin during sunny weather.
The UV rays from the Sun can be very damaging to our skin, and if exposed for too long without protection, we could end up with severe problems including skin cancer.
But our eyes are actually more than 10x more sensitive than our skin.
So this Summer, be sure to invest in a good pair of sunglasses to prevent eye damage and at worst, blindness.

How to protect your skin in the summer sun

As we move deeper into summer, UV will continue to rise, and can lead to skin damage and even cancer.

- use at least factor 30 sunscreen
Manchester’s forecast for Tuesday
There is the chance of rain in Manchester tomorrow, but it will be a mostly bright and dry day.
Temperatures will reach 18C.
Here is what the Met Office had to say: “A chance of the odd light shower though generally dry with some bright or sunny spells. Maximum temperature 18 °C.”
When was July’s hottest EVER day?
July is often the warmest month of the year in Britain, and it has seen some serious scorchers over the years.
The crown goes to a July day in 2019, that saw temperatures soar to a staggering 38.7C.
While we aren’t likely to see anything close to that this year, temperatures continue to rise on average across the globe.
This weekend Brits in the south can expect sweltering 30C temperatures.
Expect settled and dry weather next week, reports Met Office
It seems like summer is here in earnest at last, as the weather settles down and Brits see prolonged warm weather.
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Rebekah Sherwin, said; “The influence of the high pressure is likely to continue across southern areas into the second week of July and at times could be more widespread.
“Temperatures are expected to be widely above average, especially across the south, with some areas seeing maxima in the high 20s, locally 30 Celsius by this weekend. Beyond that, the forecast becomes more uncertain and, while it may well continue warm, the extent, magnitude and duration of these above-average temperatures are not clear at this stage and won’t be known until closer to the time.”
What to expect in London today
It will start out sunny tomorrow, but clouds will quickly move in.

“A fine and dry start to Tuesday, but turning cloudy for much of the region. Some bright or sunny spells developing by the afternoon. Still feeling warm. Maximum temperature 22 °C,” the Met Office said.
