flaming hot as a 31C 400 mile-wide Spanish scorcher arrives from next week. After the record spring sizzle, summer is starting with drizzle and a cooldown, with 16-20C highs from Tuesday

and soggy spells through the week.

But hot air from melting Spain, which is seeing near-record 40C early summer temperatures, is due to blow to Britain after the weekend. The sunny spring weather has already helped boost a

revival for Britain’s pubs with April takings up by more than 9% on last year.

‌ The long Easter weekend helped bring punters to beer gardens and terraces, figures show. And it bodes well for the coming weeks, as BBC Weather predicted temperatures will be nudging 27C

by next Wednesday (June 11).

for weeks.

It comes as spring is set to be confirmed as one of the hottest, sunniest and driest ever recorded. The Weather Outlook forecaster Brian Gaze said: “Summer is starting, so bring on the rain.

“The likelihood is growing of temperatures around 30C or just above in mid-June, as hot air from the continent pushes towards Britain.”

“And further into June should be mostly settled and warm, with largely summery and dry conditions.”

A Met Office forecaster said: “It will feel cooler, with widespread heavy rain on Tuesday and spells of showers from Wednesday onwards, perhaps with strong winds.

‌ “But high pressure will probably become more dominant over the weekend and towards mid-June. There’s the chance of a few hot days. From June 14 to 28 has a mixture of Atlantic weather

systems and sunny periods, and perhaps hot spells.”

The Met Office also said the UK is more likely to experience a hotter-than-normal summer with an increased chance for heatwaves. It has predicted that the meteorological summer - which runs

from June 1 to August 31 - is twice as likely to be hotter than normal in 2025.

“There is an increase in the likelihood of hot conditions, which is consistent with our warming climate,” the Met Office said.

this period.”

Landlords will be hoping predictions of a scorching summer prove true, especially after boozers saw sales grow. Analysts CGA RSM Hospitality saw like for like sales in pubs grow by 9.1% in

April compared to 12 months earlier, beating inflation and reversing declines in January and March and a just 0.1 per cent increase in February.

‌ CGA director Karl Chessell said: “After a tough few months for hospitality, the warm weather has given managed pubs a very bright start to the second quarter.

“Ongoing high costs for operators, including through heavy new labour bills from April, continue to pile pressure on margins - but while the sun continues to shine, pubs with outdoor spaces

can expect trade to remain strong.”

Saxon Moseley, head of leisure and hospitality at RSM UK, said: “The headline growth in like-for-like sales will be celebrated by operators who have endured a contraction in trading since

the start of the year.
