Slim chance for record breaking weather across the UK for the August Bank Holiday
With the August Bank Holiday on the way this weekend, betting odds are now offered on how hot we’ll see temperatures reach with a wave of warm weather expected once again across the UK.
Unfortunately though those who will be wanting record highs across the UK are going to be disappointed with the latest weather predictions expecting highs of around 22C in England’s capital London.
Rain is shown across the Met Office's weather map in areas across the UK this weekend with the chances of a hot one looking slimmer by the hour.
The latest odds suggest there's an 80% chance that we don't see the record August Bank Holiday temperature of 33.3C broken across the whole of the UK this weekend.
| Will we see August Bank Holiday record weather broken? | Odds* | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| No | 1/4 | 80.0% |
| Yes | 12/1 | 7.7% |

What the expert says...
Current odds suggest a 7.7% chance that the record is broken across the UK this Bank Holiday Weekend
Record August Bank Holiday temperatures were set back in 2019 with a high of 33.3C on the Sunday of that Bank Holiday weekend.
5 years later it seems extremely unlikely that we’ll see similar levels of temperature this weekend with the latest odds sitting at 12/1 that the record is broken.
Those odds give just a 7.7% chance that the record is broken, with the current Met Office temperature predictions suggesting we'll see highs of 22-23C across the UK this weekend.

Red skies seen across the UK this past weekend
Parts of the UK have seen unusual red skies across the last few days with fires in North America seeing smoke particles carried across the pond to Britain.
That has led to the smoke particles "diffusing the sunlight" according to the BBC, with more vivid sunsets and sunrises showing due to this which is what happened on Saturday and Sunday.
Monday night is also expected to be a blue moon and a supermoon which is an ultra-rare phenomenon that we are lucky to be seeing.
