Cornwall could see three months of sizzling temperatures as extreme "heat surges" are swept in from the Continent.

From the start of June, forecasters are expecting a heatwave, paving the way for a record-breaking summer of sunshine. The Met Office says high pressure close to the UK should bring settled, dry and sunny weather and above average temperatures, particularly in the south west.

Temperatures are expected to reach 30C for prolonged periods throughout June, July and August, thanks to scorching air from Africa and the Continent, some forecasters believe.

Rebecca Lindsay, of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) told the Mirror: "This shift disrupts the atmospheric circulation patterns that connect the tropics with the middle latitudes, which in turn modifies the mid-latitude jet streams.

"This can affect temperature and precipitation across…the world." Previous summer scorchers - including 1915, 1949,1959, 1976 and 2003 - could be left in the shade by the 2016 heatwave.

All of these years recorded extremely hot temperatures for extended periods of time. The highest temperature ever recorded in the UK was a scorching 38.5C in August 2003. Piers Corbyn, forecaster for WeatherAction, said Britain was heading towards a "tremendous dry, warm and sunny flaming June".

He said: "We are forecasting a tremendous dry warm sunny 'Flaming June' for most of the month. "The start will be dry, warm or hot, with sunny, blue skies. Some great weather is on the way."
A met Office a spokesman said: "Currently it looks likely that more settled conditions will continue for the start of June, with high pressure close to the UK.

"This should bring settled, dry and sunny weather for most. High pressure may break down, at times, as we go further into the month, bringing some wetter interludes, with rain or showers and a risk of thunderstorms, although these most likely in the south.

"Temperatures are favoured to be just above average for most areas, especially in the south and west." A spokesman said: "Currently it looks likely that more settled conditions will continue for the start of June, with high pressure close to the UK. Globally, 2016 is expected to be the warmest year on record, according to the Met Office.

We have been informed by the site owners that the cafe/takeaway is no longer operating on site. Apologies for this if you have already booked, something that is totally out of our control as we are always governed by the site management. There are a couple of cafes (The Lakeside and The Garden) and a pub (The Tavern) nearby should you require this type of facility.

Still getting lots of enquiries, mainly about the same weeks, Spring Bank Holiday and of course the school summer holidays, which will book up now very quickly, especially if the sun shines. Thought it might be helpful to show below the weeks that are now definitely booked, so that if you're mulling over which weeks might suit, you can decide and get in to grab a bargain before someone else does and be disappointed. Remember, all prices are for the entire accommodation, and not per person! Season starts on April 23rd, which is still available at just £265 for the week, £185 for a Monday to Friday short break or a mega bargain £135 for the Friday to Monday. August Bank Holiday still available so far for the very competitive £420. Loads of interest in this one, last week of the summer hols. Don't miss out!

Weather: Easter set to be ‘warmest ever’ - Roll up your sleeves, put on your sunglasses and pour yourselves a nice cold drink because we’re set for warm sunshine and blue skies right up until Easter, forecasters say.

Experts say that we’ll have pretty good weather for the rest of the month, and temperatures in some parts of the country will hit 19C over the Easter holidays. However – there’s always a ‘however’ – there are some cold nights in store.

A large mass of high pressure close to the UK is holding wind and rain at bay, forecasters say, which will lead to temperatures in the teens this week. The North will see the highest temperatures. ‘We can’t promise wall-towall sunshine — and it won’t be mild everywhere either,’ Nick Finnis, of Netweather, told the Sun. ‘But for those who’ve had enough of rain and wind, the coming days will be welcome.’

Some bookmakers, such as Coral, have cut odds on Easter being the warmest since records began. Only a couple of weeks ago, Ladbrokes was predicting snow over Easter.

The sun has been shining, the days are getting longer and the evenings lighter. Even signs of daffodils everywhere, Spring must be on the way!! That also means a lot of enquiries as people think about an early break or summer holiday. Happy to answer any questions and give prices, however the school summer holidays always attract a lot of attention and we have bookings already for end of school. We advertise on ebay, Gumtree and Friday Ad also and get recommendations from happy clients, so we have to take bookings on a first come, first booked basis. If you, or anyone you know are thinking of booking with us, don't delay and therefore be disappointed! Hope to see you soon...
