The Met Office is also warning that the hot weather could bring thundery rain, with the chance of thunderstorms.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist Dan Suri explained: “By ‘Wednesday] evening, there is an increased risk of thunderstorms across northern areas, with the potential for some fairly wet weather. Whilst the exact location for these unsettled conditions remains uncertain, it’s possible a warning may be issued closer to the time.”
He added: “A north/south split is likely on Friday, with cloudier conditions and some patchy rain or drizzle in parts of the north, but plenty of fine and sunny weather in the south. Temperatures in that sunshine are likely to peak at 30°C.”
