Temperatures are expected to drop next week in the southwest after this weekend’s mini heat wave, experts say.
Mercury is expected to climb to and above 18 ° C on Friday and Saturday, as Britons get a taste of the summer sun.
However, the heat could end with the week ahead, with the early parts of next week expected to see temperatures drop and clouds shift.
In Bristol, the mercury is expected to drop to around 12 ° C by Wednesday, with cloudier days becoming the norm instead of this week’s wall-to-wall sunshine.

The Met Office says, “There is the threat of some rains and showers in the north and east, as well as the possibility of rain rising from the south and affecting southern parts of the country later.
“Throughout this period, there is also a continued threat of rural frost and scattered fog where the winds drop light.
“Temperatures are quite uncertain depending on where the high pressure area resides, particularly in the east where temperatures are likely to struggle above average.”
