Exact dates UK temperatures will rise over 30C again despite Hurricane Erin rain

Brits are set to see the mercury rise above 30C again this month despite the arrival ofHurricane Erin.

Weather forecasters are closely tracking the position of Erin and what impact the storm could have on the UK next week and it appears that although it could bring wind and rain to some areas, the temperatures will remain high. The hurricane has been battering the east coast of the US today and is now following a northeasterly direction as it moves across the Atlantic.

The UK has seen largely dry weather this month and these settled conditions are expected to end by the middle of next week but maps from WXChart show that it will actually get hotter.

Over the past week the mercury has dropped generally into the high teens or low 20Cs around the country and it will get warmer over the Bank Holiday weekend with maps suggesting it will hit 30C on Monday. It is likely to be a hot day across the country with most areas reaching 20C and many parts seeing 25C.

And then on Tuesday it could reach 31C in the east and southeast of England although it will be cooler in the west, which will be more impacted by Erin, where temperatures will be in the high teens.

And looking ahead to next week the Met Office states: "While the Bank Holiday weather will be settled and warm for the vast majority, the eyes of forecasters are drawn west from Tuesday as Ex-Hurricane Erin is likely to exert some influence over the UK’s weather through the middle of next week."

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Tony Wisson said that a lot still depends on exactly what route Erin takes and how weak the storm will have become when it reaches the UK.

"There’s still a lot to work out in terms of the exact track and position of what will become Ex-Hurricane Erin. This system should have undergone its transition into an ex-hurricane by the time it reaches the mid-Atlantic, and it will continue to weaken as a broad low pressure system as it then drifts towards the UK," he said.

"This will displace our current settled weather, bringing spells of rain and perhaps strong winds in places by the middle of next week. Tuesday is when we’re likely to see the start of this influence, with a band of rain pushing from west to east over the UK. Rainfall could be heavy for a time in parts of the west, though it’s too early to be precise with details on this.”
