More scorching sunshine as nation braces for near-30C heat blast this week
Conditions are expected to be fine and dry throughout the week, due to an area of high pressure across the country.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Paul Gundersen, said that there will be a split between the west and the east of the UK, with the latter staying cooler than average, and the west set to experience plenty of sunshine.
He said: “As with last week, the sunniest and warmest weather will be to the west of the UK with cooler, cloudier conditions persisting in the east for the next few days. The cloud will push inland across the country overnight, burning back to the east coast by day.
“Cloud amounts may vary day to day which will affect the feel of the weather in some areas. There is a small risk of an isolated shower across northern areas on Wednesday.”

This would lead to south easterly winds bringing warm air in from the continent, which in turn would push temperatures up into the mid-to high twenties in some places.
