The Met Office says the hottest day of the year, when temperatures in parts of the UK could hit 26C, is just days away. May’s heatwave is set to hit from tomorrow, Saturday (May 11) will see scorching temperatures.

Met Office spokeswoman Andrea Bishop said: “High pressure is dominating at the moment. Temperatures will be slightly above average for the time of year, and Saturday looks set to be the warmest day this week, when temperatures could reach a peak of 26C.” This has led to a warning about UV levels and also hay fever sufferers, BirminghamLive reports.




“But we encourage people to take note of pollen counts and UV levels as they will both be high this week. So if you have hay fever, it can be unpleasant and you should take it easy,” the forecaster explained.
