Blue skies, summer sunshine and temperatures reaching the mid 20s can be expected across the Isle of Wight this coming weekend.
Warm, humid air originating from the tropical Atlantic will bring a taste of summer warmth across much of England and Wales – including the Isle of Wight – over the coming days with the hot weather extending into next week.
With plenty of sunshine, temperatures are expected to widely climb into the mid to high 20°C’s with some central and southeastern parts of England reaching the low 30°C’s, although it will be cooler near western, and some southern coasts, where sea breezes develop. According to the Island Echo weather forecast, highs of 26c could be reached locally during Sunday and Monday.
The clear skies mean that UV levels will be high over the coming days and so people should take care when outside enjoying the warm weather, especially between 11:00 and 15:00. Pollen levels are also high or very high.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist Andy Page said:
“With high pressure building from the south west and warm air being drawn up from the Azores, the south of England will be very warm or hot weather this weekend and into next week. Daytime temperatures will widely be in the mid to high 20°C’s with some central and southeastern parts reaching the low 30°C’s. It will also feel warm and humid overnight.
“Looking ahead to next week, it’s likely that the very warm weather will continue across southern parts of the UK, although it could turn more unsettled later in the week with a risk of some thundery downpours.”
