A mini heatwave is expected to hit large parts of the UK, following a warm spell in July so far. Temperatures could reach 30 degrees Celsius in the south-east of England and London as the weather looks set to improve.
Met Office spokesperson Nicola Maxey said: “There are quite big regional differences, but overall it looks set to be a wet month so far. There is a caveat that, with a few dry weeks, things could stabilize towards the end of the month.”
Temperatures in London and the south-east could peak at 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) by Friday. However, milder conditions are expected by Sunday, the Met Office said in its forecast for the country.
Sky News weatherman Jo Robinson warned: “That will bring in some warmer air over the next few days. England and Wales will see temperatures rise, possibly reaching a maximum of 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) in the south-east on Friday and Saturday, although some computer models are suggesting the high 20s.
“It will also be warm overnight, with the chance of tropical nights in the south-east of England — that will happen if air temperatures do not drop below 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit). The heat will not last long, with cooler conditions expected on Sunday.”
Looking ahead to Wednesday (July 17), the Met Office explained: “Remnant showers in north-east Scotland will quickly clear, with most places seeing a fine, dry day with plenty of sunshine and just the odd afternoon shower. Skies will cloud over from the north-west later.
“Feeling warm in the sun.” And the forecast for Wednesday evening adds: “Plenty of evening sunshine for a mainly dry night. Cloud increasing from the northwest with showers in Northern Ireland and western Scotland.”
Showers will quickly clear across north-west Scotland today, with most places remaining dry with plenty of sunshine and just the occasional light shower, according to the BBC Weather team.
