London weather shows its best as Bruce Springsteen takes over Wembley Stadium
The weekend is set to be sunny before another heatwave could roll in.
London weather is looking promising over the weekend, with sunshine and cooler nights to ensure some sleep before another heatwave rolls in.
The latest Met Office forecast brings good news for those on their summer holidays in the UK – unless you’re stuck in a traffic jam on the motorway.
Bruce Springsteen fans heading to Wembley Stadium for The Boss tonight should not be disappointed as temperatures will hit 23C with dry weather forecast.
Here is what the weather has in store today.
Weather on Saturday, July 27
Luckily for the summer holidays, the weather is mostly playing ball, with forecast showing warm and sunshine with some showers in the north and west of UK.
Now is the time to make the most of the slightly fresher weather as temperatures are set to rise from Sunday and into next week when a heatwave is possible in the south of England.
David Hayter, a deputy chief meteorologist at the Met Office, said: ‘As we go through the weekend, the jet stream will weaken to the west of the UK generating an area of high pressure that will slowly move in across the UK.
‘High pressure means the air is sinking from higher in the atmosphere and that brings drier, settled and sunnier weather.
‘Temperatures will rise too, becoming widely above average. We could see maxima of 27°C in the south and 25°C in the northeast by Sunday.
