The Met Office says the three‑day heat spike that broke June’s record should ease this weekend. Heat was severe. Temperatures reached 35 °C across England and Wales on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. They decline somewhat now. Light rain is likely in the south and east, while the north gets light winds.
Saturday and Sunday should see highs in the low 20s. People will welcome relief. The cooler air will offer relief to outdoor workers and commuters. Authorities keep watch for any lingering fire risk in dry spots. Fire danger is still watched.
