THIS is the 'insane Spanish plume' that will bring heatwave temperatures of up to 35°C to the UK for TWO WEEKS from Friday.

The forecast for extreme sunshine highs will put July's hot weather in the shade - smashing this year's record so far of 33.5C at Brize Norton, Oxfordshire, on July 19.

Up to 35C (95F) is predicted - as the odds of 100F (37.8C) are slashed.

Even in Scotland - which experienced a freak summer frost yesterday morning - is due to enjoy temperatures in the “high 20s".

The Met Office forecasts highs leaping to up to 27C from Friday and 32C - or potentially higher - by Tuesday as the hot air from Spain arrives.

Up to 35C was forecast by The Weather Outlook, due to the “insane” heat of the incoming "Spanish Plume" of hot air.

Ladbrokes slashed odds on highs hitting 100F (37.8C) to just 7/4.

Spokesman David Williams said: “August’s sizzle looks like it putting July’s heatwave in the shade.”

The Met Office said that, after showers around Thursday next week, warm and dry conditions are due to follow in the South next weekend and in spells to the end of August. The North will be more unsettled.

The Weather Outlook said the “best spell of summer” would see hot temperatures for up to two weeks, to the end of August.

Met Office spokesman Graham Madge said: “Temperatures rise from Friday with 27C possible, and we’re looking at the low 30s for southern England by Tuesday and Wednesday.

“Around 32C is expected at the moment - although there may be even warmer air coming our way from Iberia.”

The Weather Outlook forecaster Brian Gaze said: “A ‘Spanish Plume’ of very warm air is forecast to push up from southern Europe.

Computer models show insane temperatures, with some nudging a scorching 35C.

“It looks like the best spell of summer, with warmth lasting up to two weeks.

Summer so far has been disappointing for many. Even mid-July’s heat broke down after a couple of days.”

British Weather Services forecaster Jim Dale said: “Blistering temperatures will unfold.”
