Ammon News - After record-breaking June temperatures and a searing start to July for many in England, it looks as though there will be no return to heatwave conditions in the near future.

Tuesday officially became the hottest day of the year so far - with a temperature of 34.7C (94.4F) recorded in London's St James's Park - but the outlook for the start of July is much cooler.

More comfortable temperatures have already set in across the country, with some places more than 10C cooler than they were earlier this week.

Over the next 10 days, short-lived hot weather spells are expected - but a return to heatwave conditions is not forecast for the first half of this month.

Wednesday's temperatures will range between 16C to 26C north to south. Tonight will also be cooler, fresher and more comfortable.

Temperatures for much of the next week will be in the mid to high teens in Scotland and Northern Ireland and low to mid-20s in England and Wales.

However, Friday will likely be the warmest day, when we could see 27C or 28C in the far south-east. BBC
