According to the latest forecast, southern areas could see highs of 28C on Friday, while northern regions might experience temperatures rising to 25C. The Met Office anticipates a period of fair and warm weather due to high pressure over the extended weekend.
The GFS weather model indicates that temperatures could soar to 27C in the south-east on bank holiday Monday, with highs of 26C expected in Yorkshire and parts of the north-west. Further predictions suggest that London could see temperatures reaching a sizzling 30C on Tuesday, with regions like East Anglia and southern England also experiencing highs of 26C later in the day.
