Met Office forecast for the week shows the start of a heatwave in the south, with temperatures creeping up to a practically-tropical 28°C.

Much of the UK will face hot and humid conditions from Tuesday, June 25 onwards.

As it stands, weather in the North East will remain mild, with the top temperature currently predicted to be 16°C – far cry from elsewhere.
