Record breaking Spanish plume?

Saturday looks mostly fine in England and Wales. Showers continue in Northern Ireland and Scotland. It will be warmer than recently, especially in the south. Sunday is expected to be very warm in southern and central areas, although the risk of showers remains in the north. Later in the day outbreaks of heavy rain could push into the south west.

Early next week outbreaks of heavy and thundery rain push northwards. They could be focused on western and central regions. In the east and south east it probably turns hot. Some computer models are showing upper level air temperatures breaking the UK all time record due to an exceptional Spanish plume pattern building northwards across France and into northwestern Europe. However, at ground level values of close to 32C (90F) are currently projected. Although hot they  would not be exceptional.
