The King’s Coronation may be blighted by rain, but the weather’s set to turn hot and balmy as summer approaches.

Forecasters say a surging Bermudan anticyclone could bring a super ‘El Nino’ Pacific warming event which could bring the hottest British summers in its wake.

Three separate weather events in the forthcoming months could lead to pavements melting in the supercharged heat.

And it could even surpass the 40C heat surge which saw the UK’s hottest-ever temperature recorded as the country was placed on extreme heatwave alert.

The super warm blast could start as soon as May and could be weeks away, forecasters predict.

Jim Dale, British Weather Services’ meteorologist, said the signs are “already here.”

In a forecast, he said: “We are overdue a hot spell after the pretty miserable start to spring.

“We are looking at factors, including El Nino, which can influence the weather across Europe,” he added.

The heatwave all depends on whether we get southerly or south easterly at the right time.

El Nino occurs when ocean currents slow – or reverse- causing temperatures to spike off South America.

The Met Office in its long-term outlook says there’s a one in three (or 35 percent) chance of the UK’s summer being hotter than average. This is a double percentage than the norm.

The highest temperatures in summer 2022 were recorded in Lincolnshire where the mercury hit 40.3C.

This weekend, for Charles’s Coronation, however, it is a mixed bag with showers forecast.

Today, the Met Office said will be “another cloudy wet day for many.

“Showers are likely to develop in central, eastern and northern areas.”

They won’t be as heavy nor intense as the rain on Friday.

London will see rain and highs of 17C later today with nighttime temperatures for those camping out on the Mall falling to 12C.
