Blackpool weather: Hour-by-hour forecast as temperatures set to reach 25C on Monday, July 11

Parts of Britain were predicted to possibly hit 33C on Monday (July 11) on what could be the hottest day of the year so far.

The UK’s record high for 2022 currently stands at 32.7C, recorded at Heathrow on June 17.

In Blackpool, temperatures were expected to reach around 25C, with warm, dry weather in the mid-to-high 20s predicted for the rest of the week.

Met Office forecaster Greg Dewhurst told the PA news agency: “High pressure is going to dominate tomorrow, with lots of sunshine, particularly in England and Wales.

“In Scotland and Northern Ireland it will be somewhat hazy at times with thick cloud moving in from the north-west, possibly bringing some rain at times.

“But for most of us it will be a dry and sunny day, well into the high 20s from the morning, with central, southern and eastern parts of England to possibly see maximum highs of 33C.

“So it’s very possible tomorrow will be the hottest day of the year so far, it will certainly be on par with the existing record, maybe more.”
