Britain looks set to warm up once again for the last few days of a record-breaking summer as forecasters expect temperatures to reach 30C this week.
An all-time high of 40.2C in July and a lengthy dry spell that followed have marked out 2022 as a year for the heatwave history books, with some parts of the country seeing virtually no rain for an entire month.
But after torrential downpours and flash flooding washed across many areas last week, new forecasts suggest a fresh round of sunshine will be in store for the final full week of the season.
