Brits are being urged not to pack away the sun cream just yet as temperatures are set to hit the 30s thanks to Tropical Storm Debby’s antics across the pond.
The storm’s been wreaking havoc over in the eastern US with massive floods and a deluge pouring down a whopping 30 inches of rain in some spots. But hold onto your hats because it’s causing quite a stir for us too, as it’s sending our Atlantic jet stream into a tizzy and blasting a sweltering wave of air straight at the UK and Europe.
Get ready for a scorcher by the time Sunday rocks up, with the mercury looking to skyrocket back into heatwave territory following a week that was just a tad cooler for most places. Expect the south and east to bear the brunt of it, basking in low 30s temps on sunny Sunday, while the warm buzz is set to stick around through the night into Monday.

Met Office forecaster, Dan Suri said: “Tropical Storm Debby in North America is helping to strengthen the jet stream, and is causing it to meander over the Atlantic. This will allow hot air to move into the UK later this weekend, and early next week.
“Temperatures are likely to reach the low 30 Celsius in places, notably in the south and southeast. Further north and west within this warm air, outbreaks of heavy showers or thunderstorms are possible. As well as the hot daytime temperatures, a very warm night is also expected on Sunday night into Monday”, reports the Mirror.

The Met Office has forecasted “fresher conditions” on the horizon from Tuesday as Brits can expect a cocktail of rain and sunny spells in the coming days.
The long-range weather outlook for Monday 12 August to Wednesday 21 August predicts: “Following a warm night for many on Sunday, Monday is expected to be warm across many areas, especially in England and Wales. In the southeast, it may feel hot in some places.

“Temperatures are anticipated to be higher than on Sunday, possibly reaching the low to mid-thirties. Heavy showers may also occur within this warm air. Meanwhile, cloud and rain in the northwest will steadily move eastward, sweeping away the warm air overnight into Tuesday, resulting in a return to fresher weather.
“As we move through next week, the weather is likely to remain changeable, with frontal systems occasionally moving eastward from the Atlantic. Between these bands of rain, the weather will likely be quite pleasant with warm sunshine, although there may be some scattered afternoon showers in places.”

The rest of the week looks to be a mixed bag, with the national forecaster predicting more wet weather rolling in from the west on Thursday, but Friday should bring some respite with finer conditions. However, Saturday sees a shift again as humidity climbs, setting the stage for a scorching Sunday.
