UK weather forecast: a heatwave is expected to descend on the country this week, reaching 28C highs in some parts of the country.
After a scorching Bank Holiday Weekend, the UK looks set for even warmer weather in the coming weeks.
It has been predicted by some forecasters that we could see the hottest day of the year this Sunday, with highs of 28C expected in some parts of the country.
A Met Office spokesperson said, according to The Sun: "It's hotter than the Mediterranean at the moment and it's going to stay like it all week.
"We're going to see temperatures well above the average.
"It'll get even hotter as we approach the weekend with 28C possible on Sunday.
