A new weather map shows exactly when temperatures are set to soar across the country. A blast of heat is set to sweep across the UK towards the end of next week.

That is according to the latest map from WXCharts, which says the warmer weather will set in from Thursday, June 27 and could last until Tuesday, July 2, reports The Mirror. It could see Coventry hit highs of 27C.

The latest iPhone forecast for our area shows that Thursday, June 27 could see highs of 27C. Next week, in general, is forecast to be a lot warmer than this week.

But the latest local Met Office online forecast for Coventry and Warwickshire shows that it is going to be sunnier week, compared to the rain which lashed our region last week. There will still be the 'odd shower' , the forecast says.

The forecast for this week is as follows:

Today

Patchy cloud clearing through the morning but still with a risk of the odd heavy shower mainly in the far northeast. Sunny spells during the afternoon and feeling warm in any sheltered spots. Maximum temperature 20C.

Tonight

Showers lingering in a few spots during the evening, but becoming fewer and further between. Becoming dry by dawn, and cool under clear skies. Minimum temperature 9C.

Wednesday

Dry with sunny spells developing through the afternoon. Feeling warm in the sunshine and light winds. Maximum temperature 20C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday

Largely dry for Thursday, and feeling warm in the sunnier interludes and light winds. Winds strengthening on Friday with outbreaks of rain. Staying largely cloudy with patchy rain on Saturday

Wolf Shows Playful Interest in Grizzly Bear's Meal
A wolf seemed super keen to get a piece of a bison carcass from a grizzly bear, footage by a nature photographer in Yellowstone National Park shows, but the bear seemed unimpressed by its antics as it bounced around.Trevor LaClair said he filmed the scene in April 2023, when the bear pulled the carcass from a frozen pond.“Two of the wolves approached the grizzly. One of the wolves got too close and the bear lunged at it as a warning. However, the wolf viewed it as an opportunity to potentially lure the bear away and began play bowing and bouncing around,” LaClair wrote on Instagram.“After a while, the grey wolf gave up and laid down nearby, waiting patiently for a piece of meat,” LaClair added. The grizzly eventually left and the wolves were able to get their turn.According to the National Wildlife Federation, a wolf will dance and bow if it is feeling playful.

South Sudan says its 6M antelope make up world’s largest land mammal migration, but poaching on rise
Seen from the air, they ripple across the landscape — a river of antelope racing across the vast grasslands of South Sudan in what conservationists say is the world's largest land mammal migration. The country's first comprehensive aerial wildlife survey, released Tuesday, found about 6 million antelope. The estimate from the nonprofit African Parks, which conducted the work along with the government, far surpasses other large migratory herds such as the estimated 1.36 million wildebeests surveyed last year in the Serengeti straddling Tanzania and Kenya.
