A heatwave is on it's way with highs of 30C expected to hit London this weekend.

It's been a thundery few days, and even though the storms aren't completely over and done with, the warmer weather is already on it's way.

A spokesman from the Met Office said: "It will likely stay drier across the south and southeast though over the next couple of weeks.

"Thereafter, as we go into early July the most likely scenario is for a continuation for warm or very warm, locally hot, and potentially thundery, weather possible for parts of the UK."

After a week of torrential rain and localised flooding, the hot weather will be a welcome change to some.

Both the UV index and the pollen count are forecast to remain high this week.

Met Office spokeswoman Nicola Maxey said: "The continent is seeing some very high temperatures, with record-breaking temperatures expected across France, Spain and Belgium.

"We are not seeing temperatures as hot as Europe, but it will be warm for the UK."

She added: "By Saturday we could be looking at 30C in the south, with London looking at 30C but with isolated spots of 33C, 34C or 35C, maybe."

Ms Maxey said: "People who suffer from hay fever might feel quite uncomfortable."
