The Met Office<\/a> has issued a new weather forecst for the August Bank Holiday<\/a> weekend – and Brits are in for a welcome return of hot weather<\/a>. Those set to enjoy their extra day off can do so in the sunshine, as weather maps<\/a> show tempertures could soar to as high as 30C<\/a>. On Sunday, temperatures will be climbing up to the mid-high twenties in England, as weather maps from Netweather.tv turn red.<\/p>\n

The south west of England is predicted to see the hottest figures, as Gloucester soars to 26C at 3pm. South east Wales can expect similar figures, as the high digits are forecast across the majority of England. London and surrounding counties will see a warm 25C on Sunday, while Somerset, Devon and Cornwall<\/a> hovers between 22-25C in the afternoon. In the Midlands, temperatures will average at 25C, while Scotland and Northern Ireland reach 22C. The north of England will narrowly miss the Meditteranean heat blast on Sunday as figures will reach a maximum of 20C at 3pm.<\/p>\n

However, on Bank Holiday Monday, the weather maps show the entire UK to be covered in swathes of red and figures soar across the nation. The south Wales and England border remains to be the hottest, rising to 30C.<\/p>\n

Somerset, Devon, Worcester, Gloucester, Shropshire, and Cheshire are all predicted to be a sizzling 29C by 3pm on Monday, with the majority of middle England and the south east hovering between 27-28C. In the north of England, figures will rise to 26C on the east and 22C in the west.<\/p>\n

Those enjoying the Bank Holiday in Scotland and Northern Ireland are set for warm weather as temperatures rise to 25C.<\/p>\n

The Met Office<\/a> also predicts that for Northern Ireland, England and Wales, Bank Holiday Monday weather will be settled with long periods of sunshine and above average temperatures.<\/p>\n

Met Office<\/a> Chief Meteorologist Paul Gundersen said: \u201cHigh pressure over the UK this weekend and into Monday will help to keep any more persistent rain offshore and will bring a good deal of dry, fine and settled weather.<\/p>\n

\u201cCloud amounts are the main variable through the weekend and could impact how warm it feels for some.<\/p>\n

\u201cEastern areas may still feel rather chilly on Saturday under cloud cover, but temperatures are generally on the rise through the weekend, possibly peaking around 28C in some parts of southern and central England on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor those who do see rainfall this weekend, most likely in parts of Northern Ireland and northern England on Saturday and western parts of Scotland on Sunday, any rain will be fairly short-lived and is unlikely to be heavy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Met Office has issued a new weather forecst for the August Bank Holiday weekend – and Brits…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":85548,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[43075,14441,59,57,58,43076,1102,1044,50,56,1018,43074,54,55,1052],"class_list":{"0":"post-85547","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-united-kingdom","8":"tag-august-bank-holiday","9":"tag-bank-holiday","10":"tag-gb","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-greatbritain","13":"tag-high-temperatures","14":"tag-hot-weather","15":"tag-met-office","16":"tag-news","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-uk-weather","19":"tag-uk-weather-forecast","20":"tag-united-kingdom","21":"tag-unitedkingdom","22":"tag-weather-maps"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85547","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=85547"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85547\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/85548"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=85547"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=85547"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=85547"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
