Saturday should remain dry, with highs reaching 24c in Hereford. Sunday will be a very warm day with plenty of sunny spells and highs of 26c in Herefordshire. There is the risk of a thundery shower during the afternoon and evening.

It is Monday where showers are most likely to affect parts of England and Wales. According to Handry Outlook, who provide forecasts for the UK, some heavy rain and thunderstorms are possible.

”A convergence line will trigger the development of widespread scattered thunderstorms across parts of England and Wales on Monday afternoon.

“Flooding due to slow moving showers are possible. Confidence with where will the convergence line develop is still low.”
