UK long-range weather forecasts predict some warm and sunny weather for much of the country later in July. Here are the latest long-range weather forecasts, maps and charts, express.co.uk reported.
Both rain and sunshine has made an appearance so far in July, but many are longing for the hot weather the UK witnessed in June. And according to the latest long-range forecasts and weather maps, much of the UK will see some warm weather later this month.
From next week (Monday, July 13), much of the country will be seeing a pattern of warm, settled weather.
Netweather’s long-range forecast states temperatures will be “above the seasonal average by day” through the early to middle part of next week, although any repeat of heatwave conditions appears “unlikely”.

The forecast reads: “High pressure will dominate the weather over much of the UK during the early to middle part of this week, and over England and Wales the weather will be predominantly dry and sunny, with temperatures above the seasonal average by day, but near average by night.
“It currently looks unlikely that this high pressure spell will bring any prolonged heatwaves, although a short-lived hot southerly or south-easterly incursion towards the very end of this anticyclonic spell is possible.”

“More unsettled conditions with spells of rain and strong winds may affect the north and northwest at times. “These unsettled conditions could spread to other parts of the UK later in this period, but widespread unsettled conditions are unlikely.

It comes as Arctic Siberia saw exceptionally high temperatures as global warmth matched last year's record levels for June, experts have said.
Average temperatures in Arctic Siberia were as high as 10C above normal for June, according to the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) from European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecast (ECMWF).
A month of intense fires in the Arctic Circle have also been recorded by the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service, surpassing the record levels of fires seen in the region in June 2019.
