England weather map turns red in 30C Iberian plume scorcher in just weeks

Summer could be on its way as a weather map turns red with a 30C Iberian plume scorcher in just weeks. The new WX Charts maps and charts reveal warm air moving up from the Iberian peninsula around July 23 - July 24.

The south of England and London are set to see the warmest weather, hitting between 27C and 30C, reports The Mirror. For Coventry and Warwickshire, the map shows the mercury hitting 26C.

This is a far cry from the temperatures we have seen of late and could be the glimpse of summer so many have been wishing for. But, for now, temperatures are set to remain 'below average'.
