A HEATWAVE could hit parts of the UK this week as temperatures soar to highs of 29C, the Met Office has said.

However, these hot conditions are expected to also trigger thunderstorms and potentially “intense” downpours as early as tomorrow.

The forecaster explained that a “plume of warm air” moving in from the south will “drive a change to the weather later this week”.

Despite triggering thunderstorms in some regions, the warm air is set to push temperatures as high as 29C by Friday.

These hot conditions could mean that heatwave thresholds are crossed in parts of the Midlands, northern Wales, and northern England.

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Mike Silverstone explained: “As temperatures rise this week, it is possible heatwave thresholds could be reached in some parts of the UK, particularly the northwest Midlands, northwest England and northeast Wales, however it is very dependent on cloud cover later this week, so it is not a certainty.”

However, wet conditions are expected to bring potentially “intense” downpours before the warmest weather hits.

While tomorrow is expected to be a “largely fine and dry day” for much of the UK, the Met Office has warned that thundery showers are likely to move in throughout the evening and overnight.

This could lead to some western areas experiencing between 20-40mm of rain over just a few hours as “intense” downpours move through to the northeast.

These showers could also lead to “frequent” lightning for some, the forecaster warned.

Mike said: “After largely benign weather early in the week, some intense, thundery showers will move in on Wednesday evening.

“These thunderstorms are being triggered by some warm, humid air that is moving into the UK from the south.

“The intense rainfall could see 20-40mm accumulating over just a few hours, which could cause some disruption.

“While there are no severe weather warnings issued at the moment, it is possible thunderstorm warnings may be issued this week.”

But, following this stormy weather, temperatures are expected to continue to climb.

Highs of 27C are forecast for tomorrow and Thursday, while Friday could see temperatures crawl up to a toasty 29C – potentially leading to heatwave conditions in some areas.

The highest temperatures are expected in southeast and central England, the Met Office said.

However, the areas most likely to break heatwave thresholds are northwest Midlands, northwest England and northeast Wales.

The hot conditions could be the perfect invitation for Brits to go and enjoy the sunshine on beaches and in parks, following the thunderstorms.

Heading towards the end of the week, the Met Office said the humid and thundery airmass would be displaced by “fresher” and more settled conditions.

While the south is forecast to have temperatures a little above average by the end of the weekend, northern areas are “likely to be more changeable”.

The forecaster said that some areas, especially the northwest, could see spells of stronger winds, cloud, and some rain at times.

Poundland is closing a branch in just a few days[/caption]

To help shift stock before it closes for good, the retailer has launched a 70% sale to shift stock.

One shopper shared the find on social media and managed to pick up a garlic masher for 12p and a wine and beer glasses for 25p a pop.

They also picked up a USB charger for 37p.

Another shopper said they had also visited the closings store and “picked up loads” in the sale.

It comes just eight months after the affordable store shut another branch in the area.

Its site at Hindpool Retail Park closed last autumn, in another blow to shoppers.

The news has came as a blow to locals, with one even describing it as their “second home”.

A Poundland spokesperson previously told The Sun that the store is closing because it has been unable to agree terms that would allow the brand to keep trading there.

The store still has 800 stores trading across the UK.

It comes as Poundland could undergo a radical restructuring plan to help keep the business afloat.

Up to 200 stores could close and hundreds of stores have been identified for steep rent cuts, according to reports.

The retailer was put up for sale in March, with ex-Laura Ashley owner Gordon Brothers and Hilco named as frontrunners in the race.

Last month, sources told The Sunday Times the budget business could be priced at “effectively a pound”.

It’s owner Pepco said it expects the sale of Poundland by September.

The brand has already closed a number of stores in the past year.

That  includes stores across Gravesend’s St George’s Centre, Clapham Junction station in London.

Liverpool’s Belle Vale Shopping Centre also pulled down their shutters for the final time.

This is the full list of stores that have closed, or are set to close in the coming months:

• Connswater Shopping Centre, Belfast – closed March 2024
• Macclesfield – closed August, 2024
• Maidenhead – closed October, 2024
• Sutton Coldfield – closed October, 2024
• Clapham Junction Station, London – closed May 2
• Belle Vale Shopping Centre, Liverpool – closed May 6
• St George’s Centre, Gravesend – closed May 8
• Southwark Park Road – closed May 14
• Copdock Mill Interchange, Ipswich – closed May 20
• Brackla, Wales – closed May 24
• Chiswick High Road – closed May 28
• Filton Abbeywood – closed May 31
• Surrey Quays – closing June 11
• Barrow Dalton Road – closing June 12
• Union Gate, Bristol – closing June 20
• Flint – closing June 21
• Cowes, Isle of Wight – closing July (exact date tbc)
• Newquay, August 1

OTHER RETAIL CLOSURES

Poundland is not the only retailer facing troubling times.

Hobbycraft is set to close nine stores on June 21, as part of an overhaul by new owner Modella Capital.

Sites across Bristol, Dunstable, Borehamwood and Basildon are all set to close.

A further two sites in Essex and one in Gloucestershire are also set to close, with a site in Kent closing earlier this year.

Elsewhere, up to 11 Original Factory Shops stores are to set to close this month, including sites across Worcestershire, Durham and Cumbria.

Meanwhile, another five stores across Nairn, Market Drayton, Troon, Blairgowrie and Castle Douglas have been put up for sale.

It comes as part of a major restructuring carried out by new owner Modella Capital with a number of loss-making stores having to close as result.

Never has a series finale been as collectively infuriating as the season 8 ending of Game of Thrones.
