UK weather forecast: Britain set to be hotter than HAWAII as exact date scorching 30C heatwave will hit REVEALED | The Sun
BRITAIN will be hotter than Hawaii in the "first properly hot day" this year by the end of the week, forecasts predict.
The week will begin with a mixture of weather, with some pleasant warm weather in the south.
By Wednesday and the weekend, Brits will see the peak of the heatwave – with temperatures potentially in the low to mid 30Cs.
Met Office Steve Keates said: “There’s not been much in the way of exceptionally warm days or hot days yet this year, but that it set to change.
“We’re set to see probably a brief spell of hot weather at the end of this coming week.”
The end of the week it will be hotter than Hawaii which is due to only reach 24C.
Temperatures in the south are set to soar to high 20s with London to see 29C on Friday and staying in the high 20s for Father’s Day with experts predicting temperatures into the 30s.
Mr Keate said: “It could possibly be a little hotter than that…mid-30s are possible.”
"We should beat that comfortably on Friday and potentially exceed it, or get very close to it, on Wednesday and Thursday as well,” continued Mr Keate.

On Saturday, the mercury rolled up into its early 20s, with Greater London getting a taste of the hotter days to come.

RLNI urges beach goers to stay safe as summer heat hits the UK
The national lifeboat service took to Twitter to give some pointers to any Brits that may find themselves in the water as the summer ramps up.
The group said:
"If you find yourself in the water unexpectedly this weekend:
- Fight the urge to thrash around
- Lean back, extend your arms and legs
- Gently move them to help you float if needed
- Float until you control your breathing
- Only then, call 999 or 112 for help or swim to safety
Late June forecast
Dry conditions with variable cloud are likely for most at the start of this period.
Light but variable winds and warm temperatures can be expected, but potentially very warm in the far south.
Through the weekend, we can expect higher pressure from the continent to bring sunny and dry weather, particularly in the south.
However, a north-south contrast is likely to emerge as lower pressure to the northeast may bring showers and generally more unsettled weather to northern regions.
Temperatures will be average for most, but warmer in the south, with possible thundery conditions bringing potentially hot temperatures for southern regions.
High pressure is likely to persist and move westwards through this period, bringing more unsettled and occasionally showery conditions across the UK associated with a northwesterly wind.
