UK latest weather maps show 32C heatwave hitting almost every part of England and Wales

WXCharts has forecast hot weather for the end of next week (August 30) with high temperatures potentially sparking thunderstorms.

It will be hottest in the southeast (London, Canterbury) with temperatures reaching 32C. The midlands (Birmingham, Peterborough) and parts of the north (Manchester, Liverpool) will be the next warmest place, with highs of 30C and 31C.

The southwest (Plymouth, Exeter), East Anglia (Norwich, Ipswich) and Wales (Conwy, Cardiff) will reach between 25C and 28C.

Northern Ireland (Derry, Belfast) will be coolest, with temperatures of up to 23C. The north of England (Newcastle, Carlisle) will be slightly warmer with highs of 25C.

It follows brutal weather with Storm Lilian sparking widespread chaos across Britain with flights cancelled and roads closed.

Hundreds of homes have also been left without power as rain and winds battered the Midlands and north of the country.

The Met Office said of the hot weather period: “The southeast will likely begin fine and settled and is signalled to become very warm or hot midweek, with these conditions attempting to spread northwestwards.

“As is typical, it then becomes uncertain, how long will the hot conditions last, and details around potential thunderstorms in the hotter region.

“It is most probable later in the week the hotter conditions will break down from the west, however even following this, for the most part, more settled, drier and warmer than average conditions are favoured during the first week of September.”

Tonight:

Blustery showers continuing in the north, some being heavy in the northwest. Drier across the south, before an area of rain pushes into southern parts during the early hours.

Saturday:

Heavy rain moves across the south through the morning, clearing the southeast by the afternoon. Sunshine and heavy showers follow, with winds increasing in the north. Feeling cooler.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Showers in north on Sunday, but drier further south. Rain again for the northwest on Monday but drier further south. Tuesday sees rain in the north but drier further south.
