Forecaster predicts “increasingly hot” weather set to hit Portsmouth area
Forecasters are predicting “increasingly hot” weather across Portsmouth and the south east from Sunday to the end of the month.
Highs of 24C have been predicted into next week amid reports of a heatwave hitting the country. The Met Office said the weather will be “drier” and “warmer” with a “settled spell” to develop into the following week.
The forecaster added: “(It is) likely to turn increasingly warm as we move into next week. There is a chance that this could persist for much of the rest of the period (up to July 2), turning increasingly hot.
“However, by mid-next week we see a large range of outcomes. some of which allow for a return of much cooler conditions and northerly winds for the latter part of next week. However, the trend toward much warmer conditions is preferred for now.
“There is a small chance that this could persist for much of the rest of the period, turning increasingly hot.”
