The late June heatwave that has swept the UK and offered Surrey its first prolonged experience of summer is set to end in the coming days. However, temperatures are forecast to remain around 20C as far as weather forecasters can predict.

It follows days of sunshine and temperatures of up to 30C that prompted a four-day heat health warning and fears of disruption in the NHS as junior doctor strikes start. Temperatures are set to soon wane and could drop 10C in less than a week.

Drizzle is predicted and some areas could see wet spells as soon as Sunday (June 30), according to BBC Weather forecasters. Those who miss a wet spell at the weekend still look to be in store for light rain and a gentle to moderate breeze for much of the first week in July.

Despite this, temperatures are expected to remain between 19C and 21C throughout. This follows the highs of 29C and 28C on Wednesday (June 26) in areas around Dorking, Guildford, and Staines.

The hottest temperature recorded was a scorching 30C on June 25 in Chertsey and was the highest UK temperature reported since September 2023, according to the Met Office. Localised temperature and rain forecasts across Surrey can be found below.
