Brits face a weekend of soaring 30C temperatures and thunderous downpours, depending on where they live in the country.
Low pressure to the west of Scotland on Friday will bring unsettled weather conditions to much of the country and Northern Ireland. But further south, temperatures will start building on Friday, July 7, and could reach 30C in some isolated spots in the east and southeast.
It comes as the UK Health Security Agency and Met Office issued a yellow heat-health alert in several regions of England. Those regions are: London, the South East, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, Yorkshire and the Humber.
