Temperatures across Nottingham are continuing to remain above 30C as Met Office forecasters predict the hot weather will last until the weekend. Rain is not expected to fall until Monday, August 15 and an amber warning for extreme heat remains in place for Nottingham.
After even hotter temperatures last month, an official drought is set to be declared tomorrow in South West England and the extreme heat warning is in place until Sunday, covering much of the southern half of England as well as parts of eastern Wales.
However, cooler temperatures are forecast next week. Met Office Chief Meteorologist Andy Page said: “Temperatures will drop early next week as the weather becomes more changeable. Heavy showers and thunderstorms are likely in some areas, but there is low confidence in the details at this time and it is impossible to say yet exactly where and when they will occur”.
