    UK to swelter in up to 31C temperatures today as heatwave moves in | UK News

    Summer is finally here. Temperatures are set to hit nearly 31C today as hot weather finally moves into the British Isles.

    Today’s heat brings an end to the rubbish weather conditions we’ve seen so far this summer, with consistent low pressure bringing heavy winds, clouds, rain and thunderstorms, and bang average temperatures.

    Yesterday, people already got their tanning underway on beaches in East Devon while others were boating on the River Thames in Windsor.

    london will swelter in 31C today, with Brighton basking in a cooler – but still warm – 24C.

    Up north, Manchester will see temperatures of 27C, and Newcastle will see sun accompanied with 26C. Edinburgh will be cloudy but balmy, with a high of 21C.

    Unsurprisingly London and the south east are seeing the warmest weather.

    The Met Office says: ‘Outbreaks of rain across Northern Ireland and western Scotland easing through the day.

    ‘Largely dry with sunny spells elsewhere, feeling very warm in the sunshine.

    ‘Mostly dry and very warm or hot on Friday. Thundery showers on Saturday and likely remaining hot in the east or south east.

    ‘Cooler, cloudier with some rain likely on Sunday.’

    Met Office

    If you’re hoping to bask in the sun, be sure to lather on some cream – the UV index will reach 6 in London.

    Try to keep out of the sun between 11am and 3pm, when the UV rays are the strongest.

    In response to the heat health warning, the London Fire Brigade has warned Londoners to enjoy the sun safely amid the risk of grass fires.

    Assistant Commissioner Craig Carter said: ‘We know many Londoners will want to enjoy the weather by visiting a park or open space. However, we’re asking people not to take disposable barbecues with them as they can cause grass fires, especially in hot weather when the ground is dry.

    ‘These fires are unpredictable and can spread rapidly, causing a significant amount of damage.

    ‘Don’t be tempted to barbecue on your balcony either. Balconies can contain combustible materials which can pose a risk to those barbecuing and others living nearby.

    ‘If you are having a barbecue, never leave it unattended and be careful where it’s positioned.

    ‘Aim for level ground and keep barbecues well away from anything flammable like sheds, fences, trees, or tents.’
