UK weather: Heat forecast to make a comeback as temperatures near 30C

All parts of the UK should feel warmer this week when compared with last week.

Temperatures may fluctuate from day to day though, depending on changes in wind direction and cloud cover, but will generally be close to or above average for the time of the year. Nights and the early commute will become warmer too.

For western Scotland and Northern Ireland temperatures are likely to be at their highest at the start of the week, under gentle south-easterly winds, with highs of around 19-21C (66-70F).

Elsewhere, with winds switching between south and south-westerlies, temperatures more widely in the low to mid-20s Celsius can be expected on some days.
