The Met Office has issued its weather forecast for the next few days after a heat alert was issued. An Iberian plume whipped up by a block of high pressure across the UK is expected to lead to some blazing temperatures over the weekend and into next week.
In Nottingham temperatures are expected to reach around 26°C on Saturday, June 10 and 25°C on Sunday, June 11. The hot and dry weather is also expected to last into next week.
There is also a warning that the warmer temperatures could lead to isolated thunderstorms. But the current Met Office forecast shows the dry weather is here to stay.
