BRITAIN could scorch in 3OC temperatures in just DAYS 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.”
