UPDATE: Summer Weather Outlook
For those in the thick of outdoor events season, our friends at DTN have provided an updated Summer Outlook Update for GCMA members, offering a month-ahead view of expected weather patterns across the UK and wider Europe. For the first half of July, the outlook suggests conditions will remain warmer than average overall, though July 1–4 is expected to be less hot than recently, with more seasonal conditions possible in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Heat is then expected to strengthen again from July 5–9, particularly across England and Wales, with temperatures above 30°C possible in central, southern and eastern parts of the UK. Conditions are generally expected to be drier than average, although western Scotland and Northern Ireland may see occasional rain, and thunderstorm risks remain possible, especially as conditions become more changeable around July 10–14.

Watch Now! DTN Summer Weather Preview
In case you missed it, GCMA’s latest Focal Point webinar exploring the upcoming summer weather outlook is now available on demand! Featuring DTN’s Stephen Davenport and Brad Nelson, the session provides a forward-looking view of expected summer conditions, including the development of El Niño, regional heat and drought risks, severe storms, wildfire potential, and global impacts relevant to live event planning and operations. The discussion also explores how forecast models, analogues, and climate drivers translate into real-world considerations for organisers preparing for the season ahead.
If you couldn’t join us live but have questions, you’re in luck—the DTN team will be joining us at our May Control Room meetup to answer your questions and get nerdy with us on all things weather.
Huge thanks to DTN, and to Stephen and Brad in particular, for their time, expertise, and continued support of GCMA.
