**UK Weather Maps Display Volcanic Red as 32C Forecasted – Complete List of 22 Areas Above 30C**

Recent weather forecasts reveal that 22 counties across the UK may experience temperatures soaring above 30C. This dramatic rise in temperature is expected to transform the maps into a striking volcanic red, indicating extreme heat levels.

Neil Armstrong, a Met Office Chief Forecaster, stated, "With last week's heat behind us, there will be much relief for many this week as we are forecasting a pleasant week of summer with temperatures in the low to mid 20s°C for many." This suggests a temporary reprieve from recent heat waves, although several areas will still reach significant highs.

Here is the complete list of counties expected to exceed temperatures of 30C:

1. Kent

2. Essex

4. Norfolk

5. Hertfordshire
