Temperatures could soar to 32C this week as Met Office reveals when heatwave will end
The Met Office is predicting a "last dose of summer" this week as temperatures could soar to 32C (89F) while pupils across the country return to the classroom.
The news will be welcomed by many Brits underwhelmed by one of the wettest July months on record, followed by a mixed bag of sunshine and rain in August.
Warm spells will reach 30C (86F) on Tuesday in southern areas of England and 32C (89F) on Wednesday and Thursday in central and southern England.
Temperatures will remain in the 20s for Wolverhampton and the Black Country all throughout today, rising to a high of 27C (80F) between 3pm and 6pm.
These higher temperatures are not predicted to subside until mid September according to The Met Office, after which they are likely to remain higher than average.
After a particularly tepid summer, September's warm spell is a result of warm air between a high pressure area in continental Europe and low pressure in the Atlantic.
