Britain is set to benefit from a 'Spanish plume' where temperatures are expected to be close to record highs on mainland Europe.
Thunderstorms and heavy showers battered parts of the country on Tuesday as some much needed rain finally came after a blazing summer so far, but the hot conditions are set to continue as we head into the weekend as the south could hit highs of 31C.
There are worries of another intense summer for Europe, following last year's baking conditions where the UK surpassed 40C for the first time on record.
