‘Strong summer sunshine’ expected over weekend, Met Office says

The UK is set for a weekend of “strong summer sunshine” with temperatures reaching high twenties, according to the Met Office. However, thundery showers may also occur. High pressure winds from Europe will bring warm air, leading to a hot Sunday and Monday. Saturday will start cloudy but brighten up with temperatures of 25C in London. Sunday will see temperatures in the mid to high 20s, reaching 29C in London. Showers are expected in some areas, with thundery conditions on Monday. Monday could be the warmest day of the year so far, with temperatures up to 34C. Cooler weather will return by Tuesday. Remember to stay hydrated and keep curtains closed during peak heat.
