Very warm, very humid

During Tuesday very warm upper level air feeds in from the southeast. However cloudy skies and surface level winds blowing in from the North Sea are likely to cap temperatures to the mid 20Cs. Scattered thunderstorms are also expected. 

Little changes on Wednesday. Many places have sunny spells but further thundery showers are possible across the southern half of the UK. It remains warm and humid.

Forecast details for the rest of the week are uncertain. Computer models are showing an exceptional plume of warmth continuing to push northwards across western Europe. Upper level warmth over the UK could break records by the end of the week. It could also heat up at ground level with temperatures possibly heading towards 34C (93F) by the weekend. It also remains very humid.

Much cooler and fresher weather is expected to return by the start of July.
