BBC Weather presenter Matt Taylor says the heat has not peaked yet: <\/p>\n

"Wednesday and Thursday could also bring 30C+ days with Scotland or Northern Ireland possibly seeing the highest temps then. This would give them their warmest June day since 1995."<\/p>\n

He adds there's also a chance that Northern Ireland will have its hottest June day on record - that currently stands at 30.8C at Knockarevan in 1976.<\/p>\n
