Met Office confirms where the mercury will reach 30C this week – London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com

The Met Office has revealed the locations that will be hit with temperatures of 30C this weekend.

London will be the hottest in the UK on Friday with the mercury hitting 30C the east and south east of England including the Midlands will see temperatures of 27C.

Met Office maps also show that from Wednesday England, Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland will see temperatures reach past 20C and in London on Thursday it will hit 26C.

The hot spells are a result of warmer weather is being drawn from Spain as a result of high pressure in the east, the Met Office has said.

“We are expecting temperatures to rise through the coming days,” Met Office spokesperson Nicola Maxey told Yahoo News UK.

“By Friday, although temperatures will be around average for the North and North West, they will be locally very warm or even hot in the South East.

“There is a chance we could see temperatures reach the high 20s or even 30C in the London area for Friday and possibly Saturday, before milder air starts to push across the country once again.

“Nights will also be mild with temperatures staying in the high teens and even low 20s for parts of the South East.”
