- A third heatwave of the year is forecast for the UK this weekend, primarily affecting the south and southeast of England.
- Temperatures are expected to reach highs of 28C on Saturday, 29C on Sunday, and potentially 31C by Monday.
- This hot spell is anticipated to be more pleasant than June's record-breaking heatwave due to lower humidity levels and a less widespread impact.
- While southern England experiences warm, sunny weather, western Scotland, particularly the Highlands, is predicted to receive significant rainfall, with over 100mm possible.
- The contrasting weather is attributed to an area of high pressure near the Azores influencing the south, while a westerly airflow brings frontal systems and rain to Scotland.
