Brits are set for another boiling day following yesterday’s scorcher – but this time, we may have some rain.

Parts of the UK basked in sunshine on the country’s hottest day of the year so far yesterday, with temperatures soaring to 27.6C at 2.27pm at Heathrow in west London.

That beat 2019’s previous warmest temperature of 25.8C, which was set last month.

Conditions could get even hotter in East Anglia today, with temperatures of 28C or 29C expected, but that could also bring a risk of thunder.

Met Office meteorologist Emma Smith said the hot weather is the result of the jet stream moving north and high pressure and heat coming from the continent in the south.

She said on Saturday: ‘For this time of the year it should be 19 or 20C in London and in East Anglia it should be 18 or 19C, where we could see the hottest temperatures tomorrow.

‘The last time we had 28C was August last year. It’s hot for the time of year.’

According to the Met Office, rain showers are expected to spread eastwards with a risk of isolated thundery showers in the east and south east, accompanying the hot weather.

Monday is forecast to be windy with showers in the west and north-west, while dryer and brighter elsewhere.

June 1 is treated by weather experts as the meteorological first day of the UK summer.
