The remnants of a tropical storm will draw warm air up from further south with the Met Office ‘confident temperatures will increase markedly’
Very warm weather looks set to return to Hull and East Yorkshire – and it’s thanks to the remnants of a tropical storm. After a changeable few days with some heavy showers mixed with sunshine, temperatures are predicted to “increase markedly” by the start of next week, according to the Met Office.
By Tuesday, the mercury could hit 28C with warm or very warm temperatures “for at least a couple of days and there is a possibility that the heat could last further into the week”. Highs are expected to reach at least 23C on Saturday before climbing to 27C in some parts of the region by Monday with daytime peaks of 26-28C through much of the rest of the week.
The Met Office says temperatures will begin to rise from Sunday “as the remnants of Tropical Storm Dexter draws warm air up from the southwest across the UK”.
Though the mercury is expected to hit the high 20s Celsius in our region, it could push past 30C in some parts of central, southern and eastern England.
Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Steven Keates said: “We’re confident that temperatures will increase markedly by the start of next week, reaching the low 30s Celsius in parts of England on Monday and perhaps the mid 30s in a few places on Tuesday.
“However, the length of this warm spell is still uncertain, and it is possible that high temperatures could persist further into next week, particularly in the south.
“Ex-Dexter sets the wheels in motion for an uptick in temperatures, but the weather patterns then maintaining any hot weather are rather more uncertain”.
