Overview of hot weather over the next 5 days
Temperatures peaking on Friday, with 29/30C likely maximum in many parts, though the north will be cooler. Staying dry thoughout, though an increase in cloud will like reduce maximum temperatures slightly, though they will still be 25-28C into the start of next week.

The weather may become more changeable during this period, with spells of rain and showers followed by transient settled periods. Temperatures look like they could be around average, though there is the potential for some warmer periods.
