(40 minutes later) | |
Parts of the UK are experiencing the hottest day of 2012 so far, with Cavendish in Suffolk reaching 32.3C, the BBC Weather Centre says. | |
Cambridge has also seen hot weather, reaching 31.5C on Saturday afternoon. | |
However, not all of the country has such high temperatures. Newquay, in Cornwall, has reached 18C, while Belfast hit 19C and Glasgow 20C. | |
Temperatures are expected to return to average August levels by the middle of next week. | Temperatures are expected to return to average August levels by the middle of next week. |
According to the BBC Weather Centre, while south east England and East Anglia are experiencing very warm weather, a dividing weather front across the UK means other areas are not having particularly high temperatures. | |
Cardiff and Manchester have reported temperatures of 21C and Carlisle is at 18C, for example. | |
Varying temperatures | |
Sunday will see the same sort of contrast in temperature across the country as on Saturday, and temperatures could even be a degree or so higher in eastern England. | |
A weather front dividing the country marks the line between fresher weather to the north west of the UK and hotter, more humid weather to the south east. | |
The hot weather in south east England is being fed by warm air coming up from the Continent. | |
BBC weather forecaster Colin Seddon said that next week temperatures will be cooler. | |
"By the middle of next week the South East should see highs in the low 20s, with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland reaching the high teens," he said. | |
