Hot weather maps show exact date 4 day heatwave with 34C scorcher hits England

The nation is set for a series of scorching hot days very soon, as UK weather maps have flashed crimson red. The maps by WXCharts, generated using Metdesk data, show that in just days, Brits will experience a four-day heatwave with temperatures reaching up to a sweltering 34C.

It comes as the UK has already experienced three heatwaves with temperatures reaching the mid-30s. Now, it appears that similar conditions are on track to arrive from August 11 and remain right through to August 14, with temperatures increasing as the days go on.

The maps show that the south of England will be hit the hardest by the hot weather with the likes of London and Southampton welcoming temperatures from 30C and above. By August 13, the southwest will see temperatures increase to 34 °C.

While WXCharts forecasts the hot weather to continue for four days, the Met Office claims that Brits could see the blistering conditions persist further into the following week.

Steven Keates, Met Office deputy Chief Meteorologist, said: "We're confident that temperatures will increase markedly by the start of next week, reaching the low 30s Celsius in parts of England on Monday and perhaps the mid 30s in a few places on Tuesday.

"However, the length of this warm spell is uncertain, and it is possible that high temperatures could persist further into next week, particularly in the south."

The Cotswolds are forecast to be even hotter than the capital on the second day of the heatwave, with WXCharts maps marking the region with 33C, a touch hotter than the 32C heat in London.

The Midlands and north of England will also experience hotter weather across the four days, with temperatures ranging between 28C and 31C.

However, as you travel further up north, the hot weather ease with the cities including Leeds, York and Newcastle experiencing temperatures in the mid 20s.

The Met Office forecasts that "occasional spells of rain or showers" in the North will accompany the high temperatures. While the south will remain "mostly dry."
