Wednesday and Thursday are predicted to be the hottest days of the week, with temperatures reaching highs of 28C across the county.

Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Dan Suri said: "Temperatures will continue to climb through the week with a hot spell developing across much of England and Wales.

"From Wednesday temperatures will widely reach into the high twenties Celsius and it’ll be hot across much of the UK, especially central and southern England where we could see highs of 30 to 34 Celsius.

"This hot weather is expected to last until at least Friday and so heatwave conditions are likely to develop for some areas this week."
