A summer heatwave is set to hit parts of the UK. Temperatures look set to hit 32C in central and eastern England on Thursday, with weather forecasters claiming that the mercury could be "well into the high 30s" for several days.
Met Office chief weather forecaster Paul Gundersen said that after some sunny weather this week, conditions will "return to near normal for the time of year" from next week, with highs of 20C expected. In Nottingham, precipitations are expected to hit the city for the first half of the week.
The rainy weather will calm down on Wednesday. We're set to see some cooler air arrive across the UK from the start of this week, which will make things feel a bit fresher than of late. Mr Gundersen said: "The unsettled pattern is expected to continue to dominate into the start of next week."
