What a scorcher! Mini-heatwave on the way as temperatures set to hit 30C
A mini-heatwave could hit Britain next week with temperatures of up to 30C in the South. Even Scotland could see temperatures reach the mid-20s as intense heat from the continent pushes up over the Channel. But make the most of it, because it won't last long - forecasters say the high temperatures could last for just a couple of days before falling.
In weather terms, it's still a long way off and open to changes, but at the moment it looks like pressure will build early next week to bring mainly dry conditions and high temperatures.

Sky News weather producer Joanna Robinson said: "There's lots of talk about the weather forecast for next week with the potential for our first spell of very high temperatures for this year, just in time for Wimbledon. There's a low probability along the south coast of temperatures in the high 20s and maybe even hitting 30 degrees." Expect humid conditions if temperatures rise, and extreme heat if you're planning on travelling to some parts of Europe.
Very high temperatures are expected on the continent - Spain is likely to get into the 40s next week.
