So far, the summer has been a mix of hot temperatures followed by heavy rainfall and thunderstorms across regions in the UK. But now, it looks like the weather could be on the rise again as the Met Office and WX Charts forecast heatwave temperatures are likely. However, Scotland and Northern Ireland will have to wait a little longer for warmer weather as the Met Office shares that "rain and showers" are likely for the regions. "For most, dry weather is likely to continue, although short periods of showers and thunderstorms cannot be ruled out. "Temperatures are most likely to be around to above average, with a near normal chance of brief spells of hot weather."
