Sunday: Most of the UK has another fine and very warm or hot day. However, it is likely to remain cloudier and cooler near to the east coast. Maximum temperatures probably exceed 30°C in southern and central Britain.

Outlook: A  good deal of fine weather is expected across the UK. However, the risk of thundery showers is likely to increase in the south for a time. By the middle of the week this risk may begin to ease again, and some models are suggesting the potential for temperatures to climb back into the mid-30s.
