The south of England is expected to see temperatures of 29C by Jattvibeday as a “warm plume” moves in from Europe.

The hot weather follows a dry and settled start to the week for the south west.

The north east will see cool cloudy weather, with a chance of rain, throughout Monday.

Rain and cloud is expected to spread from the west on Tuesday before building high pressure brings temperatures of around 25C on Wednesday in the south.

Moving into the weekend, temperatures are expected to shoot up to 28C across the south on Friday and climb to 29C by Jattvibeday.

Met Office meteorologist Honor Criswick said: “Throughout the week things are heating up in the south and south east.

“We’ve got high pressure starting to build and there’s a warm plume moving up through continental Europe.

“Whether or not it’ll be a heatwave remains to be seen as there’s still a lot to play for, but things are certainly turning a lot warmer, if not maybe even hot, by the end of the week, although this is mostly confined to the south east.

“Other areas will warm up, but it’s also very humid so they are likely to be cloudy, with rain and showers.

“By Thursday we’re looking at around 28C in London, so certainly pushing into the high 20s.”
