Britain will see temperatures of up to 28C on Sunday as the heatwave rolls over into next week amid an unusually dry August, forecasters have predicted. Meteorologists have urged people to avoid midday sun and stay in the shade as the arid weather looks set to last another seven to 10 days.
Highs of 27C and 28C are expected to hit parts of south and south-east England on Sunday, with sunny spells forecast throughout the day for most of the country. The west of Scotland may see some rain – but will also experience patches of clear sky, according to forecasters.
The warm weather is due to continue for most of the UK into next week. Conditions will stay dry and settled with little rain or wind.
