In terms of a long-range forecast for when the heatwave will end, the Met Office says: “Although mainly settled initially, with some showers in the north and west, more unsettled conditions are expected to affect the UK at times through this period.

“Further showers, perhaps turning thundery in the south, with increased amounts of cloud and some persistent, occasionally heavy rain mainly affecting western areas.”

Adding: “Towards the end of the period, northern areas are more likely to see settled conditions. While risks of showers, perhaps thundery, will be greatest in the south. However, showery interludes remain a possibility for any part of the country. Temperatures generally around, or just above average.”
