While heatwave conditions will continue across many parts of England and Wales, a brisker wind means temperatures will still drop relative to recent days.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.”<\/p>\n
By Sunday, parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland will see more sunshine as temperatures rise slightly. <\/p>\n
Parts of western Northern Ireland could reach or exceed the 25C heatwave threshold temperature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
