The weather is set to intensify from 3pm on June 13, with the following week seeing temperatures soar, according to maps from Netweather TV and WX Charts. WX Charts uses data from Met Desk and updates its forecasts daily on its website.
This week, Devon will be significantly cooler. Spending the days with a lot of cloud and with it being so overcast, temperatures will struggle to break through to the 20s.
Devon will remain relatively warm, in the mid teens, for much of the week. Exeter-based forecasters at the Met Office predict that the coming weekend will be slightly warmer, with temperatures in the high teens, but the sun will struggle to break through the cloud.
The BBC has hinted at a "warmer trend" between now and June 16, stating: "In the third week of June conditions could be rather changeable again as areas of low pressure could approach or surround the UK at times. There is also the possibility of areas of low pressure moving generally north or north-west of the UK later this week, allowing the high pressure of the Azores High to spread across the southern part of the UK, at least temporarily.
"This would lead to warmer, calmer and slightly drier conditions particularly in the southern areas. However, a renewed build-up of a stronger block of high pressure over Scandinavia could lead to a drier and warmer easterly or south-easterly flow, particularly in the northern and eastern parts of the UK, and wetter conditions further west and south."
The forecast for the period from June 17 to June 30 suggests: "The fourth week of June could be drier, particularly in eastern and southern parts of the UK. This would be due to areas of low pressure which could affect mainly west and north-western parts of the UK and an extended area of high pressure from the Azores or the Scandinavian High could affect regions of the UK at times. As a result it will continue to be warmer than average.
"During the last week of June there are signs that high pressure will become established near or over the UK for a prolonged period. This increases the chance of continued higher temperatures. There is even a chance of very warm weather in southern England and Wales and conditions could be drier almost everywhere. However, for Scotland at least, there remains a risk of wetter and slightly windier conditions."
