The UK will bask in scorching heat in May and a sizzler until July after this weekend’s battering from Storm Hannah.

The 80mph storm is currently slamming into the British Isles and knocking out power to thousands of homes.

But the Met Office has forecasted lots of sun on the horizon with its long-range forecast.

The weather service is predicting hotter-than-normal temperatures over the next three months until the start of July.

It forecasts the chances of warmer days as almost 10 times more likely than cooler-than-average conditions.

The warmer-than-average weather has a 45% probability, the Met Office states, while there is a mere 5% chance of cooler-than-average temperatures.

And The Weather Outlook has backed the prediction with a forecasted 28C sizzler from Spain later in May.

The glorious weather will be great news for Brits planning to attend the FA Cup Final on May 18, the Epsom Derby on June 1, Trooping the Colour on June 8 and Royal Ascot from June 18-22.

The Met Office long-range forecast reads: “For April-June, above-average temperatures are more likely than below-average.

“The probability the UK average temperature falls into the warmest of our five categories is 45%. The coldest category is 5%.”

Met Office forecaster Martin Young added: “From May 11-25, there are indications fine and dry weather will dominate, with temperatures near or perhaps above average.”

The Weather Outlook forecaster Brian Gaze said: “28C would not be a surprise later in May, with warm air expected to arrive from southern Europe, known as a ‘Spanish plume’.”
