By Friday, maximum temperatures are forecast to reach the mid-30s celsius in Germany, Italy and Czechia, 9-13C above the 1991-2020 climate average, as a Saharan air mass that has already pushed temperatures into the mid-30s across Iberia and France spreads north-eastwards. Parts of the UK may see the mid- to high-20s on Thursday and Friday. Up to five consecutive days in the mid-30s are expected in some areas, meeting the local heatwave definition before conditions ease early next week.
