Britain’s hottest day of the year is expected this week
Britain’s hottest day since last September is expected this week.
According to what forecasters have predicted, temperatures could rise to a high of 27 C (80.6F), on Friday, due to a wave of warm air moves across the country in the coming days.
Throughout the week, much of England and Wales will enjoy temperatures in the 20s, with only the odd shower predicted in the west of the country, The Independent reports.

In the next week, Scotland and Northern Ireland will also register an improvement of the weather, although cloud coverage is expected to keep temperatures slightly cooler.
“If we reach 26C (78.8F) then we will have the hottest day of the year so far, but it is Friday which is shaping up to see temperatures peaking. We are looking at the high 20s – possibly 27C – with warm air coming up from the south. It’s going to feel pretty good,” said Alex Burkill, a meteorologist at the Exeter-based Met Office.
“This is looking like being the warmest spell we’ve had since September last year, but it might not last beyond Friday – from then we are looking at the possibility of some thunder and showers and temperatures taking a dip,” he added.
