UK weather: 27C heatwave could bring hottest April weather in seven years

Some changes will start to take place by the end of this week as cooler air begins to move down from the north.

A few showers are expected, perhaps even with isolated thundery downpours in southern areas, as the warm weather breaks down.

However, high pressure should still be fairly close by for the bank holiday weekend meaning plenty of dry weather, albeit with a few showers.
