UK faces a 27C heatwave with swathes of England set to sizzle in sweltering conditions. UK weather maps have turned red as a 27C scorcher looks set to hit 45 counties in days, with maps from
Ventusky laying bare what lies ahead. WX Charts and Netweather TV, which mirror the predictions, predicts 27C around May 31. The counties include Sussex, Kent, Hampshire, Dorset, Somerset,
Wiltshire, Berkshire, Surrey, Greater London, Essex and Hertfordshire. Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Cheshire and Staffordshire also look set to
benefit, as well as Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Norfolk. READ MORE UK TOURISTS IN SPAIN WARNED TO STOP BOOKING 'SEVEN, 10
OR 14 DAY STAYS' Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and Lancashire, look set to roast too. London and the south east,
where dark red on maps show the temperature will rocket to 27C, will be hottest. Article continues below But the hot weather is mirrored right through the whole of England - and could stick
around well into June 1, which again sees 27C highs in the capital city and the south of England. A Met Office forecast for May into June, spanning May 24 to June 4, explains: "Sunshine
and blustery showers for much of the UK on Bank Holiday Monday, with the heaviest and most frequent showers in the northwest. "The southeast will likely end up driest and brightest.
Temperatures are expected to vary from below normal in the northwest to above normal in the southeast. Through the rest of this period, changeable conditions are expected with weather
systems moving in from the Atlantic, these bringing outbreaks of rain and strong winds at times. Article continues below "Wettest conditions are likely to be in the west and northwest,
conditions driest in the sheltered east and southeast. Some dry, bright interludes are likely between systems. Temperatures are expected to be close to average or slightly above." It
adds for June 5 to June 19: "Changeable weather across the UK at first, with a mixture of Atlantic weather systems moving in from the west at times, interspersed with some drier,
brighter periods. "Later in this period there is the potential for drier conditions to become more prevalent. Temperatures are most likely to be near normal or slightly above, perhaps
with some hot spells at times."
