Parts of the UK will enjoy warmer weather than is usual for this time of year when the temperature is typically 19°C.
The Met Office said: “While there will be pleasant and fine weather, the warm air is expected to trigger thunderstorms and heavy downpours, both on Wednesday night into Thursday and again later on Friday.
Meteorologist Craig Snell said it will be “pretty changeable” over the next few days, adding that the Met Office is “keeping an eye on the risk of some thunderstorms developing”.
From Thursday, however, rain clouds are expected to sweep across Northern Ireland and through the west coast of Scotland, with Newcastle, Manchester, and Sheffield also experiencing the wet weather.
There was just 128.2mm of rainfall, making May 2025 the driest spring in more than 50 years. It was also the warmest spring since records began in 1884.
Mr Snell said: “After Wednesday, we start to draw up some very warm and humid air from Iberia and France, and that will make it quite humid across much of the UK and that humidity will potentially spark off some thunderstorms”
Temperatures will continue to rise into the latter part of the week, leading to greater humidity, the forecaster warned.

The Met Office also forecasts that in Peterborough, Chelmsford, Lincoln, and Newark-on-Trent, temperatures will soar to 26°C.
Mr Snell said: “By the time we get to midweek, it will feel very different out there, with quite humid night times also becoming a good deal warmer than what we have been experiencing over the last couple of nights, so probably borderline uncomfortable for some people by day”.
“It is possible heatwave thresholds could be reached in some small areas of the Midlands, north-west England and north-east Wales, however, it is very dependent on cloud cover later this week, so it is not a certainty. It is unlikely we will see widespread heatwave conditions”.
