A scorching heatwave is heading for the UK bringing with it seven days of 30C plus temperatures.
This summer has provided very inconsistent weather, but Brits have another week of sunshine to look forward to before we head into autumn.
According to WX Charts’ weather maps, the UK will heat up on Thursday August 29. London and areas to the north of the capital will see highs of between 31C and 32C.
Meanwhile, temperatures will only reach the low twenties in Cornwall, Wales and Scotland.
On Friday, August 30 and Saturday August 31, temperatures will reach similar highs in London, but the Midlands and North Yorkshire will also enjoy the peak of the heat.

By Sunday September 1, London will once again get the hottest conditions with temperatures of 29 degrees. Cornwall will also see an uptick to the high twenties.
Areas near the south coast will see the hottest conditions on Monday September 2, with Dorset, Hampshire, and Surrey basking in temperatures of around 31C.
On Tuesday September, 3, there will be highs of 32 degrees across the south of England from London all the way to the border with Wales.
Finally, parts of Essex, Suffolk and, Norfolk will be roasting on Wednesday September 4 as temperatures yet again strike 32C.
The Met Office’s forecast for August 28 to September 6 says: “Initially dry and very warm across central and eastern areas, perhaps hot for a time, while cloudier with some patchy rain in western parts.

Later in the week a trend towards less-hot conditions is likely as a more pronounced westerly flow becomes established, although exactly how long it remains very warm or hot in the east is uncertain.
“Meanwhile, further rain or showers are likely at times in the northwest.
“Towards the weekend and into early September, high pressure may become more dominant, leading to more widespread and longer duration settled conditions, although possibly still some rain at times in the far northwest.
“Temperatures will likely trend above average during this time, with the small chance of a few thunderstorms.”
