UK weather: New maps show storm chaos arriving in hours - obliterating 30C heatwave
Next week may be baking hot, but before long Brits will be in for a drenching.
After a slow start to the summer, next week promises stinking hot weather for large parts of the country.
According to the Met Office, on Tuesday the mercury is due to reach 32C in the capital, while other areas of the UK will see temperatures north of 25C - notably Wales and the West Country which could see highs of 27C.
Monday will be hot too, with the top temperature once again found in the south-east - 29C. The north-west will see temperatures around 26C tomorrow, as will the Midlands and western areas.
Scotland and Northern Ireland meanwhile will see temperatures north of 20C, but not much more than that.
However, all the steamy weather is due to be punctuated by brutal storms, according to Netweather forecasters.
According to Netweather, August 1 will see torrential rain battering Britain.
In particular, western areas, Wales and the Midlands will bear the brunt of the inclement weather.
Eastern areas may escape the worth of the conditions. Meanwhile on August 3, according to WX Charts, southern England will see rain too - however it appears not to be as heavy as on August 1.
