This is when Blackpool could sizzle again as Met Office forecasts more 'very warm or hot temperatures'

As Blackpool’s weather recedes from last week’s heatwave, the Met Office has forecast more hot weather to come into next week.

The mercury topped 31C in our town on Wednesday, Thursday and into Friday whilst many other parts of the country basked in temperatures in the high thirties.

And the Met Office’s long range forecast for the end of next week says temperatures will start to climb again becoming very warm or hot.

For now, the weather has returned to a more normal scenario for this time in June.

This week

It’s feeling fresher today but still warm in the sunshine. Temperatures will be around 19C. Rain will move in later this evening for a time and tomorrow is looking showery but temperatures will be around 20C. The rest of the week looks fairly settled with warm temperatures and a little rain here and there.

Next week

High pressure will dominate across England and Wales over the weekend, bringing dry and warm conditions with plenty of sunshine for most.

From next week high pressure remains slow moving over England and Wales and winds will be light to moderate for most. Temperatures will rise through the period, perhaps becoming very warm or hot in places.
