UK sees brief warm spell with scattered showers; Czech weekend cools before possible heat early next week
A warm air mass is lifting temperatures across the United Kingdom, with southeast England expected to reach 27‑28 °C on Sunday and much of England and Wales in the mid‑20s, while Scotland continues to experience heavy rain and gusty winds. The Met Office notes that drought conditions persist in Wales and much of England, so additional rain is needed to ease dryness. Showers are forecast to spread across the west and east of the UK by Tuesday, followed by a cooler, more settled pattern early in the week. In the Czech Republic, Friday remains the warmest day of the week with highs of 25‑29 °C, Saturday sees a slight dip to 21‑25 °C with occasional rain, and Sunday is expected to be clear and warm with temperatures of 21‑25 °C.
