While heatwave conditions will continue across many parts of England and Wales, a brisker wind means temperatures will still drop relative to recent days.
North-easterly winds mean areas experiencing the biggest drop in temperature will be those close to North Sea coasts, with highs on Sunday and Monday around 18-21C.
Even with the breeze it remains hot across the western half of England and Wales with highs of 26-30C widely, but 31-33C possible in parts of south-east Wales and south-west England.
The high temperatures and dry conditions coupled with freshening winds will result in extreme wildfire conditions for many parts of England and Wales through the weekend, the Met Office warned.
A National Fire Chiefs Council spokesperson said: “When the weather stays hot and dry, it only takes one spark to start a wildfire. What can begin as a small fire can spread incredibly quickly, putting people, homes, wildlife and our countryside at risk.”
By Sunday, parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland will see more sunshine as temperatures rise slightly.
Parts of western Northern Ireland could reach or exceed the 25C heatwave threshold temperature.
