Parts of the UK could finally have a taste of summer this weekend, with a mini-heatwave expected to replace what has been an extremely wet first half of July.

Despite the wet start to July, an improving weather pattern is expected across England and Wales, with temperatures rising and more sunshine in the coming days, with temperatures in London and the south-east potentially peaking at 30C (86F) by Friday. However, milder conditions are expected to return by Sunday.
