"Plumes of heat are forecast from Africa, bringing thunderstorms, with cooler Atlantic periods and some rain in between. Becky Mitchell of the Met Office said: "We’re going to see some higher temperatures this week, starting off in the low 20s, and it will turn warmer during the rest of the week."At the moment it looks like temperatures will probably peak on Friday with highs of 26C, but at the weekend things might turn a little fresher, though it will likely stay in the low 20s."
