Brits are set for blistering temperatures where they could be close to 30C before the country is set to be battered by thunderstorms over the weekend.
It has been a week of unsettled weather which has seen wind and heavy rain from storm Polly while the mercury has dipped after record breaking temperatures in June.
And forecasters are predicting the mercury to rise up to the high 30Cs at the end of July and into August particularly if the El Nino starts to have an effect.
