What has the Met Office said?
Alex Burkill, a meteorologist at the Met Office, warned that the high temperatures could become “quite uncomfortable” in some parts of the country.
He said: “In the south and east, there is further chance of staying dry and some decent sunshine on offer.
“So there’s a lot of heat around, high humidity as well, quite uncomfortable for some of us.
“As we go into the weekend, with the heat and the humidity, there’s a fairly strong chance that we are going to see some heavy, thundery rain, feeding up from the south.
“That is likely to become pretty widespread across much of the country as we go through Saturday and into Sunday.”
Next week is expected to continue to have unsettled weather, with a mixture of showers and thunderstorms and sunshine.
