Caroline Davies, 19, from Shrewsbury, enjoys a sunny sundae.

The sun looks set to continue shining on Shropshire for at least another day – but forecasters have poured cold water on claims we are in for a flaming June.

The soaring temperatures and glorious sunshine of the last few days are predicted to continue tomorrow but then it is all change. Cloud is set to begin moving in on Sunday and then overcast skies and a dip on the thermometer will typify next week.

Temperatures were predicted to hit a high of 24C (75F) today, with a night-time low on the cards of 10C (50F).

Temperatures will reach 22C (72F) on Saturday, falling to a minimum of almost 11C (52F) overnight.

But then Sunday will be cloudy with a marked drop in temperature, down to a high of 17C (62F) and just 8C (46F) at night.

Monday is set to be the same, but with the daytime high not climbing above 13C (55F) and a low again of 8C (46F).

Suggestions the summer would be a classic to rival the baking 1976 have been dismissed by forecasters.

Helen Chivers, of the Met Office, claimed the recent hot spell would not last very long.

She said accurate long-term forecasts were not possible but said fears appear to be unfounded that tennis stars will struggle under the sun at Wimbledon and stars dehydrate at Glastonbury.

Forecasting between June 16 and 30 – taking in both events, she said: “UK sunshine amounts are slightly above average and temperatures around the UK look to be normal so that’s why we are concerned about some of the headlines coming out.”

From the end of June across the southern half of the UK temperatures are predicted to range from 18C (64F) to 21C (69F).

“Exactly what we would expect on a late June day,” she said. There is a possibility temperatures will rise to between 20C (68F) and 25C (77F).

Billy Payne, of Meteogroup, said: “Next week is looking quite unsettled. It doesn’t look like it’s going to be anything special.”

The Weather Outlook said the summer’s hottest temperature could be 33C (91F) in the south “but the general picture is for a mixed season, and one which will not be remembered as a classic”.
