AREAS of the South East will sizzle this weekend as temperatures hit the high twenties.
But while the heat returns to the region, Brighton and Hove will only see highs of 25C.
Parts of the South East are enjoying high temperatures today, too, before the weather cools on Thursday and Friday before the weekend.
But Brighton beach is not expected to be packed as it was during the heatwave, as the Met Office forecasts just 23C for Saturday, and 25C on Sunday in the city.
“A lot of the UK will probably see a dry weekend with the best of the sunshine in the South,” said Met Office meteorologist Craig Snell.
“After potentially a couple of fresher days, Thursday and Friday, temperatures climb once again as we go into the weekend.”
Mr Snell said there are “no real major signs of anything wet coming through for the South, and generally the kind of warm theme is continuing for a lot of the country after a very brief cooler spell.”
But into next week, temperatures in Brighton will creep up, as Tuesday is predicted to reach 29C.
It comes as the Met Offices reveals last month to be the driest July in England since records began.
