The UK is set to see very high temperatures with parts potentially soaring above 30C thanks to a ‘Spanish plume’ over Europe, according to forecasters. The heat in Europe is soaring with Spain set to see 44C over the weekend and into the start of the week.
This can have a big impact on the mercury on Britain and the Met Office has said that some parts of the country, especially the south, could see ‘very hot’ weather. Yesterday the country saw many yellow weather warnings for thunderstorms as heavy rain lashed parts of the country amid the hot conditions.
There are worries of another intense summer for Europe, following last year’s baking conditions where the UK surpassed 40C for the first time on record. Seville, which is known as being one of continental Europe’s hottest cities, will hit the 41C marker on Friday and early predictions suggest it will only get hotter with temperatures predicted to hit 44C on Monday.
