Huddersfield is facing its hottest week of the year so far as the Met Office forecasts temperatures will climb to 31°C on Friday 10 July. The town will see unbroken sunshine and dry conditions through at least Wednesday 15 July, with daytime highs staying in the mid-to-high 20s across the seven-day period.
The Met Office has described the spell as a “prolonged spell of hot weather continues into next week” for the UK. Overnight lows in Huddersfield will hover between 13°C and 16°C, offering little relief from the heat, while precipitation chances remain below 10% for most of the week. UV levels are rated High at 7 out of 11, with officials urging residents to “seek shade during midday hours, cover up and wear sunscreen.”
Pollen counts will stay Very High through Friday before dropping to High on Saturday and Sunday, potentially easing early next week. The Yorkshire and Humber regional forecast confirms the hot spell will push inland temperatures to 34°C on Friday, with light winds and plenty of sunshine. The current heatwave marks the first sustained stretch of hot weather for Huddersfield this summer, a sharp turn from the cooler, cloudier start to July.
The Met Office long-range outlook suggests high pressure will linger north of the UK through mid-July, keeping conditions broadly settled, though a risk of thunderstorms may reach southern areas from France. Beyond that, mixed spells are expected, but warm temperatures could still persist into early August. Forecasts are updated regularly on the Met Office website.
