UK's third heatwave of the summer is on the way - but will it hit Nottinghamshire and the East Midlands?
Things will warm up this week, with heatwave criteria being reached in parts of the UK by the end of the week.
So what’s the situation for Nottingham and the wider county?
Temperatures could climb into the low 30s, although this heatwave is not expected to see temperatures quite as high as the one experienced at the end of June/early July.
In Nottingham today (9 July) temperatures are set to rise.
Today:
Rather cloudy to start, especially over western hills. Cloud gradually breaking through the morning, with widespread sunny spells developing through the afternoon. Feeling warm or very warm in the light winds, although likely a touch cooler along the coast. Maximum temperature 26 °C.
Tonight
A fine evening for most in the late sunshine. Some cloud building over the Derbyshire hills, but generally a clear night elsewhere, feeling a touch humid. Light winds. Minimum temperature 13 °C.
Thursday
Clear skies will see a day of prolonged sunshine. Sun perhaps turning hazier through the afternoon as high cloud drifts in. Feeling very warm or hot. Humid overnight. Maximum temperature 29 °C.
Outlook for rest of the week
Fine and sunny through the period, hot by day and humid at night, although feeling slightly cooler along the coast. Light winds.
