With temperatures expected to soar this week, warmer conditions are predicted to hit Royal Ascot for the final few days of the 2025 meeting.

According to the latest weather forecast projections, the UK heatwave will hit Royal Ascot 2025 and racegoers may be set to bask in record temperatures for the feature meeting of the flat season.

The Berkshire racecourse boasts an all-time high of 32.8C recorded at the 2017 Royal meeting and William Hill are offering 7/1 for that figure to be surpassed at some point this week.

Bet on Royal Ascot 2025 with William Hill today.

The forecast on Thursday looks really hot, with slightly higher predicted temperatures than both Friday and Saturday – and that is reflected in William Hill’s betting odds of 11/10 for Ladies Day 2025 to be the hottest day of the week.

Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “Royal Ascot is basking in the heart of a heatwave and racegoers will be hoping for a relaxation of the dress code as temperatures creep up towards 30 degrees.

“It’s been a warm start to the week, and it only looks to be getting hotter, with odds of a record-high temperature for the meeting now 7/1. We think there’s more than just an outside chance of the record 32.8 degrees recorded in 2017 being topped this week, with Thursday priced up at 11/10 to be the hottest day of the week.”

The champagne will be flowing for Ladies Day on Thursday and Day 3 tips for every race can be found on the William Hill website. If you are attending Royal Ascot later this week, make sure you pack the suncream and stay hydrated!
