Much of southern, central and eastern England will see a gradual build in temperatures through the weekend.

Temperatures will exceed 30C in places and could even reach 33C in the South East.

However, the Met Office predict rain will begin to fall for those in Scotland, Northern Ireland, north west England and parts of northern Wales later this evening.

They say will continue through the weekend, with further bands of rain pushing into the northwest.

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Chris Almond said: “After some thundery showers in central and eastern England on Thursday, the UK is transitioning to a more typical weather pattern through the weekend, with high pressure to the south and the influence of low pressure further north and west, albeit with some very warm or hot air in the south and east at first.

“Official heatwave criteria could be met for parts of southern and eastern England, with temperatures most likely to peak in the low 30s on Sunday in the southeast, but even elsewhere temperature could still reach the high 20s.

“Temperatures will likely remain quite high overnight, so it’s important to look out for those who may be more vulnerable to heat.”

“It’s a marked contrast to those further northwest, who will see periods of rain move in from the west through the weekend.

“Western Scotland and Northern Ireland are likely to accumulate the highest totals, with possibly more than 40mm falling in some spots overnight on Saturday and into Sunday with some thunderstorms thrown into the mix, in what will be a largely unsettled weekend in the area.

“Temperatures look set to fall early next week, with many areas feeling a bit fresher, although temperatures will still be above the long-term average.”
