Summer sunshine predicted for UK this weekend
Britain is preparing to bask in summery conditions this weekend, as the Met Office predicts high temperatures and plenty of sunshine in a large part of the UK.
Forecasters are predicting temperatures of up to 32 degrees centigrade (90F) in some parts of central, eastern and southeast England on Sunday.
The Met Office is warning people to be aware of the risk of severe suburn in the scorching temperatures.
Most areas are also expected to see plenty of sunshine developing as early cloud breaks up. However, the Met Office has warned that the high temperatures could possible trigger occassional thundery downpours, espeically on Sunday and some areas on the southern and western coasts could experience heavy mist at times.
The Met Office have also predicted “very promising” conditions for the beginning of next week, which is the first week of the Wimbledon tennis tournament.
Forecasters are expecting the hot temperatures of the weekend to ease off and predict that, in spite of a few showers on Monday, the weather “should pose few problems” for the start of the tournament.
