BRADFORD is set to see temperatures of up to 30 degrees this week, as last week's downpour quickly turns to a wave of sunshine across the country.

According to the Met Office, Bradford will see highs of 30 degrees tomorrow, with the warm weather continuing into Thursday, which is expected to see highs of 28 degrees.

The Met Office describes Friday as being "sunny" but "changing to light showers by early evening" and says to expect highs of 28 degrees, with the temperature reaching its peak at around 4pm, followed by a 30 per cent chance of rain at around 7pm.

Although the weekend is expected to be dry, the Met Office says to expect "sunny intervals" on both Saturday and Sunday, with highs of 22 and 19 degrees, respectively.

The heatwave will affect much of the country, with highs of 30 degrees also expected in parts of London and the East Midlands tomorrow, as tempartures are expected to be hotter here than they will be in some parts of Spain and Portugal.
