<\/p>\nAn Atlantic storm “trapped” in a loop in the jet stream will drive soaring temperatures, tropical humidity and thunderstorms.<\/p>\n
Freakish weather triggered by a wavy jet stretching from the United States will pull a monsoon deluge in from the Continent.<\/p>\n
Friday is expected to bring the peak of the heatwave as thermometers in southern regions nudge 30C.<\/p>\n
Fine, warm weather during the middle of the week will give way to outbreaks of thunder ahead of the weekend.<\/p>\n

Met Office meteorologist Alex Deakin said: \u201cThe jet stream is starting to shift, and we are seeing a bit of a wiggle, and that ripple is starting off over the Americas, and pulsing downstream.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are getting more of an amplified jet stream, and there is a low trapped in a trough that is going to slowly meander towards the UK over the next few days.<\/p>\n
\u201cAhead of it, high pressure is building and that is why we are seeing fine weather for most places and temperatures rising.\u201d<\/p>\n
Temperatures will rocket as winds draw up from Spain with highs likely to touch 30C by the end of the week.<\/p>\n
Unlike the spring mini-heatwave, this week\u2019s blast will be intensified by rising humidity leading to sticky nights, Deakin warned.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cLow-level winds are drawing up our air from the south, from Spain where the air is warm and that is why our temperatures are going to be rising.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe hottest day of the spell is likely to be Friday across central and eastern parts where temperatures will be in the high 20Cs with 29C the top temperature.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is going to get warmer by night with temperatures getting into the mid-teens across the south and staying in the teens further north on Thursday night and Friday night.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe humidity is what most of us are going to notice most, and whether it will be sunny will depend on the rainfall.\u201d<\/p>\n
Temperatures in parts of the country could nudge past 30C by the end of the week, according to some forecasters.<\/p>\n
Humidity and the timing of thunderstorms will determine when the hottest weather arrives.<\/p>\n
Jim Dale, meteorologist for British Weather Services and social commentator, said: \u201cThe thunderstorms could quash the 30C temperatures until later in the week or the weekend, depending on when they arrive.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut this is going to be a warm and humid period with a plume of air coming in from the Continent where temperatures are already very high.<\/p>\n
\u201cI expect it to stay warm through the weekend, and again this is when we could see 30C or maybe 32C as a maximum.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tropical humidity will bring the greatest risk of heavy downpours and thunder through the run up to the weekend.<\/p>\n
As higher pressure builds, the clouds should part to bring more in the way of clear skies and sunshine.<\/p>\n
Showers and heavier downpours will remain a risk in parts of the country until mid-month, experts warn.<\/p>\n
Jason Nicholls, lead international forecaster for AccuWeather, said: \u201cThrough the end of the week, a front moving across the UK will bring the risk of showers and thunderstorms.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe weekend will be drier, but even then, we can\u2019t completely rule out the risk of showers in the north and west of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An Atlantic storm “trapped” in a loop in the jet stream will drive soaring temperatures, tropical humidity and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":178156,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5018,3,4],"tags":[748,393,4884,2461,1144,712,16,15,1764,741],"class_list":{"0":"post-178155","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-britain","8":"category-uk","9":"category-united-kingdom","10":"tag-britain","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-heatwave","14":"tag-northern-ireland","15":"tag-scotland","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom","18":"tag-wales","19":"tag-weather"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114669929674006724","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178155","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=178155"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178155\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/178156"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178155"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=178155"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=178155"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
