Incredible weather maps turn red as 24C heat bomb roasts Britain - check your area

New have revealed that the nation is set to be hit with a ball of heat in just over a week. Maps generated by WXCharts using metdesk data, and NetWeather show temperatures are due to reach as the new month arrives. The forecasted for May 4, will be welcomed by the whole nation, as indicated by the yellow and orange shade across the whole country.

Both the south and north of England will see the higher end of the temperatures, with London expected to reach 24C, and Manchester 23C. Areas in the midlands, including Birmingham will see temperatures vary between 20C and 22C, similar to Scotland, however some spots with the Scottish Highlands will see temperatures a little lower at around 18C on areas of higher ground.

The hot weather carrying through to the following days is still debatable according to the Long Range Forecast for Sunday, April 27 to Tuesday, May 6.

The forecaster states: "There's a small chance that fine and very warm weather could extend right across the country early next week, but it's more likely that cloud/rain in the northwest will sink southeast introducing more changeable and cooler conditions for a time-mid week.

"It then becomes roughly equal chance that we see a resumption of mainly fine and dry conditions versus a continuation of more changeable weather with a mixture of rain and drier interludes."

While Brits will have to wait and see if the conditions stay dry after the forecasted heat, at least this week is meant to see various "sunny spells".
