Temperatures hit 27.5C over the weekend but the mini-heatwave ends today with a bang
Temperatures peaked on Sunday as the UK recorded its hottest day of the year but forecasters have predicted a week of milder temperatures as thunderstorms bring an end to the fine weather. Chertsey in Surrey recorded the warmest temperature of 27.5C on Sunday while 25.3C was recorded in Usk in South Wales, the Met Office said.
Honor Criswick, a meteorologist at the Met Office, said the storms might “band together” in areas across the UK, resulting in intense bursts of lightning and heavy rainfall. She said: “In the areas with heavy showers, it’s expected to get a bit gustier as well, and surface water flooding is also a possibility.”
