When will summer EVER start in Britain? With June temperatures half what they will be in 2023, forecasters predict the exact date Britain will finally warm up

With the summer solstice officially less than a week away, many Brits are hoping to pack up their sweaters and break out the shorts and T-shirts.

But it looks like we’ll have to wait a little longer before lighting the BBQ.

Britain has been battered by cold winds and rain so far in June, with temperatures half as high as a year ago, the Met Office said.

So, when will summer ever start in Britain?

Here’s what forecasters including the Met Office, Netweather.tv and BBC Weather have to say.

BBC weather

According to BBC weatherBritons should expect milder conditions in the third week of June.

“The third week of June should initially remain wetter than normal across much of the UK,” the report said.

‘However, as the week progresses, conditions may become drier as an area of ​​high pressure extends north-eastwards from the Azores, likely to settle, at least temporarily, over southern parts of Britain.

‘As a result, a warmer trend could break through during the week.

‘As the weather pattern is generally developing slowly due to stalled conditions, the low pressure influence near Britain may last longer and bring generally changeable conditions, with strong westerly or south-westerly flow on average.

‘Warmer air masses are therefore likely to affect much of Britain.’

BBC Weather expects the warm weather to arrive on June 24 – at least ‘for a while’.

“In the last week of June there are signs that high pressure will build near or over parts of Britain for an extended period,” it added.

‘This increases the chance that temperatures will continue to rise and drier and calmer conditions will arrive for a while.’

The Met Office

Unfortunately, unlike BBC Weather, the With office predicts that we will have to wait until at least July before we can enjoy warmer conditions.

“Until the last week of June, on balance, milder than average conditions appear more likely to persist, with winds from the southern quadrant,” the report said.

“During this time, rainfall looks quite variable (some places dry, others wet).”

Fortunately, things will start to look better early next month, with ‘some spells of drier and sunnier weather’, according to the Met Office.

“Currently the only signals, weak as they are, indicate that rain and showers will trend more north and west, with any longer drier spells favoring the south,” it added.

“Temperatures are most likely close to or slightly above the climatological average.”

If you live in the south of Britain, NetWeather.tv’s forecast will be music to your ears.

‘It seems likely that southern parts of Britain will have a substantial chance of warm/hot, dry, sunny weather during the last third of June, with signs of a strengthening Azores High, possibly particularly in southern parts of Britain -Britain will create mountain ridges,” the spokesperson said. site expert, Ian Simpson, explained.

However, it’s not such good news for people living in more northern areas.

“A predominantly variable westerly pattern is more likely to emerge for the north of Britain,” Simpson added.

In terms of specific dates, June 22nd looks set to be the first day of real heat, with highs of 25°C in London.

However, it won’t be until early July that this warm weather lasts.

“Temperatures are likely to be above normal overall, although there is uncertainty about the magnitude of the anomaly,” NetWeather.tv forecast for the first week of July.

‘It will likely be drier and sunnier than average in the north-west of Britain, while sunshine and rainfall are likely to be closer to normal in other regions, and possibly cloudier and/or wetter than average in the south-east of Britain. ‘
