Summary
Temperatures in England and parts of Wales are forecast to climb back to 25-32C next week, with some models pointing to 30-35C by next weekend.
High pressure building south of the UK is expected to stall rain-bearing fronts, keeping wetter weather mostly in northern and western areas while southern regions heat up again.
The UK has already recorded 3 heatwaves this year, and a fourth could be declared if enough stations exceed local thresholds for 3 consecutive days.
Usk and Exeter have already hit their heatwave criteria for 20 straight days, though cooler weather and rain this weekend may briefly end those local runs before the next surge.
