UK weather: Temperature to hit 27C as sizzling 'Iberian plume' predicted

Britain continues to enjoy its long stretch of sunny conditions as the country could experience the hottest day of the year later on this week.

The highest temperature in the UK so far this year was 25.1C in Porthmadog last Tuesday, with the Welsh town peaking at a British-high of 24.2C on Friday too, and forecasters believe there is a possibility that the mercury could climb higher than that mark.

Predictions suggest highs of 24C are expected early next week as an 'Iberian plume' makes its way towards us before it is set to get even hotter as we head into the second half of the week, starting on Thursday.
