Temperatures might strike 30C in parts of the UK next week after heavy rain soaks the nation, according to the Met Office.
A yellow rain caution remains in location for northern England and Wales on Monday, with dangers of flooding and interruption to facilities and transportation.
However, as soon as the rain subsides, temperature levels are set to skyrocket in parts of the nation, with southern England reaching 30C by the weekend
Met Office forecaster Greg Dewhurst said the caution goes through the early hours of Monday early morning and into the night, ending at 9pm.
He said temperature levels must stay in between 18C-23C, prior to ending up being drier on Tuesday.
“Temperatures overall similar to the last couple of days really. So, jumping between 18 and 23 Celsius so overall an unsettled day,” he said.
“The good news is that low pressure moves out of the way as we go into Tuesday, so it should be a drier day on Tuesday.
“A better chance of seeing some sunny spells particularly across eastern parts of the UK.”
He said temperature levels might then start to skyrocket in southern parts of the UK as the week advances.
“An area of low pressure to the west of the UK and the Atlantic slowly starts to move towards us,” he said.
“What that allows to happen is for the winds to turn southerly, and we start to import some higher temperatures from the near continent.
“So, staying into Friday, we’re likely to see those temperatures rising, potentially getting towards the high 20s and then possibly by Friday and into the weekend, depending on cloud and shower distribution, we could locally see temperatures around 30 degrees by by the weekend.”
