UK weather forecast LIVE – Brits to bask in ‘early summer’ as temperatures SURGE across country after heatwave in ARCTIC

BRITS are set to bask in ‘early summer’ temperatures next week due to a heatwave in the Arctic

The Met Office says that London in particular will see clear skies and top temperatures of around 17°C on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

BBC forecaster Chris Fawkes has said the weather “is going to get a lot, lot warmer” next week.

“As the southerly winds continue to push northwards through Tuesday and Wednesday, those temperatures are going to surge significantly,” he said.

“Tuesday – a fine day with some sunshine – maybe a few isolated showers developing through the afternoon but most of you will have a dry day though.

“Temperatures will reach a high of 19°C in London, 15°C in Glasgow and 14°C in Belfast.”

Scientists have suggested that Britain’s ‘early summer’ could be caused by a heatwave in the Arctic.

There, unbelievable temperatures of nearly 30C above normal were recording in the North Pole on Wednesday.
