Highs Of 30 Degrees As Mini Heatwave Hits Isle Of Wight

The Isle of Wight will experience a 'mini heatwave' for the first half of this week, according to the Isle of Wight Met Service.

Forecasters predict highs of 30 degrees celsius in some areas of the Island until Wednesday, with mostly light winds expected on the coast.

Today (Monday) a Heat Alert Level Two is in force, with moderate winds expected from the Southeast. Temperatures will range from 21’c to 23’c on the coast to 26’c to 28’c in more central, western and northern parts of the Island.

Tuesday

It will be a very warm or even hot day across the Island with a mixture of sunny spells and occasional cloudier periods. There is an increasing risk of the odd shower later in the day and this risk continuing overnight.

Temperatures will be around 22’c to 24’c on windward coasts but closer to 26’c to 28’c elsewhere with a few places in central and northwestern parts of the Island likely to reach 30’c. The wind will be mostly light and variable but with onshore sea breezes developing.

Wednesday

It is still a little uncertain at the moment but the latest data suggests it will stay very warm with a mixture of cloudy and sunny spells along with the odd thundery shower.

Temperatures will be 24’c to 26’c fairly widespread but a few places may see around 28’c, especially in more central parts of the Island. Winds will be turning into the Northeast and will be light to moderate.
