A MET OFFICE SPOKESMAN SAID: “THERE IS AN INCREASE IN THE LIKELIHOOD OF HOTTER THAN NORMAL CONDITIONS." 06:39, 21 May 2025 The UK faces a "double chance" of a heatwave this


summer, with experts saying the country is on course for a roaster. Long-range outlooks hint towards above-average temperatures returning through summer, spanning June, July and August,


according to meteorologists. GB News reports there is "more than double the normal chance of ‘hot’ weather". A Met Office spokesman said: “There is an increase in the likelihood of


hotter than normal conditions. “This doesn’t necessarily mean that the UK will see heatwaves and heat-related impacts, but the risk of these is higher than normal. Drivers relevant to the


current outlook are the warming of the UK climate consistent with wider global warming trends.” READ MORE NEW UK PRIMARY SCHOOL DINNER RULES WITH SOME STAPLES BEING 'BANNED' The


Met Office’s three-month outlook suggests a 45 per cent chance of a ‘hot’ season. There is just a five per cent chance of a ‘cool’ season. A Met Office forecast from June 4 onwards explains:


"Changeable weather conditions are expected as we head into June although with time a trend toward longer settled spells seems likely. Article continues below "So spells of wet


weather with showers or longer spells of rain are likely to be interspersed with drier, sunnier periods these drier periods may become more prevalent as we had further into June.


"Overall, it will likely be wetter in the west and drier in the east. Temperatures will probably average out around normal, although some very warm or even hot spells are still


possible, as normal for the time of year." Jim Dale, meteorologist for British Weather Services and social commentator, said: “The expectation is that we are not going to lose the heat


for long and that there will be a bounce back within the coming weeks. Article continues below “I don’t think that the recent weather is a sign that we have drawn the curtain on the chance


of a warm and sunny summer, rather, it is more likely to start turning hotter than average before long. “This is the result of increasing temperatures overall, consistent with climate


change.” It comes as The Met Office has unveiled a new supercomputer which it says produces better forecasts. The weather agency says detailed estimates up to 14 days in advance will become


the norm, while rainfall predictions will also be more accurate.
