Brits could see the hottest day of the year so far next week with temperatures reaching 30C in some places. The hot temperatures seen in Spain in recent days look set to head north towards the UK, according to Met Office forecasters.
Met Office meteorologist Jonathan Vautrey said: “As we move into the end of the week, that’s when we are starting to pick up the signal for the potential for some significant heat to come up from the south.” He said this was “still a fair way off at the moment”, so there is is still some uncertainty.
But Mr Vautrey added “there is a signal in that the heat we have currently got over Spain – I believe they are experiencing rather high temperatures at the moment – could edge its way northwards to south-eastern areas of the UK, at least for the end of the week.
