A 'mini-heatwave' is on its way to London and Kent this weekend.

Whilst Friday will be mainly cloudy with light drizzle, Saturday and most of Sunday will be full of warm sunshine.

Saturday will be the pick of the days with highs of 23 degrees in the afternoon.

Sunday will stay mainly fine with highs of 20 degrees but will cloud over in the evening.

Met Office spokeswoman Nicola Maxey said: "Monday is still looking fairly cloudy, but that starts to break up in the afternoon for parts of the southern half of the UK and down to the east coast.

"Tuesday will be quite sunny for England and Wales, slowly clearing towards the north. Certainly much of England and Wales is going to see areas of prolonged sunshine.

"Temperatures could reach the low 30s, and there is a slight chance that they will reach the mid-30s in the south."

She added that the weather would be hotter than the average 20.9C (67F) for July.

The nights will also be warm, with temperatures on Monday expected to average around 14C (57F) in the south.
