Temperatures set to soar higher than Marbella, Ibiza and Tenerife over the weekend before 'torrential and thundery' downpours hit UK
Parts of the country are forecast to be hotter than Marbella, Ibiza and Tenerife in the coming days as a "plume of warm air" moves in from the south, with temperatures likely to reach highs of 28C.
Despite many places remaining largely dry, thunderstorms with heavy rain and hail are also expected to develop in some areas, the Met Office said. A yellow weather warning was put in place on Thursday for thunderstorms, covering Wales and south and western England, between 2pm and 9pm on Saturday. The weekend's high temperatures are expected to be the reason behind the showers - some of which becoming "torrential and thundery" - with more than 30-40mm potentially falling within an hour.
