London will reach a high of 32C (90F) on Friday, while a blast of Saharan heat is blanketing the Mediterranean.
Temperatures across the UK will start to climb on Thursday as the jet stream moves north. Some parts of the country won’t drop below 20C overnight into Saturday, a threshold known as a “tropical night.” But the heat will be short-lived, with more unsettled weather from Sunday.
