Maximum temperature 25C.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">The forecast for tomorrow reads: &#8220;Any cloud or mist clearing relatively quickly, leaving a fine day with plenty of strong sunshine. Feeling very warm with light and variable winds.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">The Met Office outlook for Thursday to Saturday says: &#8220;High pressure will build bringing a mixture of sunshine and cloudier periods. Increasingly very warm and feeling hot in the strong sunshine by Friday with pollen levels becoming very high.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Tony Wisson said: \u201cThe rising temperatures this week are a combination of several factors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;Over the next few days, settled weather and warm sunshine will allow temperatures to rise day on day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;Temperatures will then rise further towards the end of the week as winds turn more southerly and even warmer air over continental Europe will be drawn across the UK.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;We could very well see several places exceeding 30C, which will be the highest temperatures of the year so far.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>How long will the UK heatwave last?<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">High pressure is expected to move away from the UK early next week, resulting in temperatures falling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Mr Wisson added: \u201cTemperatures are likely to peak in the low 30s this weekend before easing sometime early week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;Some forecast models even allow temperatures to rise into the mid 30s by Monday. While this is feasible, it is considered a lower-likelihood scenario.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Met Office says Brummies should prepare for &#8216;strong&#8217; sunshinePeople enjoying warm weather in Birmingham Birmingham is set&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":191341,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7820],"tags":[855,497,748,393,4884,16321,16,1190,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-191340","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-birmingham","8":"tag-birmingham","9":"tag-birmingham-weather","10":"tag-britain","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-midlands-weather","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-uk-weather","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114698048513116288","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191340","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=191340"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191340\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/191341"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=191340"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=191340"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=191340"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
