31C heat - the hottest day for 10 months - has been revealed. BBC Weather has predicted that the mercury will nudge 27C by next Wednesday and other weather forecasters have said 31C will
follow. On June 12 the mercury could reach 30C for the first time this year, with London set to experience the warmest conditions. The weather, predicted by the Met Desk, Ventusky and
Netweather TV, shows UK maps scorched crimson red. The deep scarlet shows 31C highs in and around Greater London, with the surrounding areas and swathes of the south east set to benefit.

next week. Further into June it should become generally more settled and warm as high pressure builds. Its Monday 9 June to Sunday 15 June outlook explains: " Some changes are expected
in the week that follows with a general return to mostly drier and possible warmer than average conditions. Article continues below "This will be down to a stronger build of
high-pressure across western continental Europe and lower pressure lingering near Iceland. As a result Scotland and Northern Ireland are likely to have wetter and windier weather during this
period. "Furthermore, Scotland and Northern Ireland may see slightly cooler conditions as well which could temporarily extend further south and south-east, consistent with some
alternative forecast solutions." Ian Simpson, from Netweather, said: "A number of people have recently been asking me when we are next likely to get our summer back, illustrating
that the frequent warm dry sunny weather this spring brought about a perception of summer having already established. In meteorological terms, summer doesn’t start until 1 June, and by some
other definitions it starts even later than that. Article continues below "Generally so far my answer has been “into the second week of June”. Confidence is of course relatively low
once you get more than 7 days out, but there is quite a strong signal among the medium to long range forecast models that the weather will continue changeable, albeit quite warm at times,
with mainly westerly and south-westerly winds through to around 10 June. "The weather pattern that we’ll be getting isn’t normally associated with particularly warm weather, but sea
surface temperatures are well above the long-term average in most parts of the North Atlantic, especially to the south-west of Britain, and this will result in these westerly types being
warmer than we would normally expect. "But most people are really asking about when the dry sunny weather will return, and for the next 10 days it often won’t be particularly dry or
sunny."
