London's heatwave will soon come to an end as cooler temperatures are expected to sweep across the rest of the UK.

On Wednesday, the UK experienced the hottest day of the year so far, breaking temperature records across the country. Londoners were basking in the heat, some enjoying it to the fullest, while others were stuck inside their stuffy apartments. But for those heading to Glastonbury in Somerset, the forecast was looking mostly dry, making it the perfect weather for the festival.

In Wisley, Surrey, the mercury hit a scorching 30.5°C, according to the Met Office. Meanwhile, in Canterbury, people were out enjoying a beautiful summer day on the River Stour. With the recent summer solstice, the UK has been blessed with long hours of daylight, with places like Shoeburyness in Southend-on-Sea enjoying a whopping 14.3 hours of sunshine.

While London was enjoying the last bit of the heatwave, areas in the northwestern parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland were experiencing rainy weather and strong gusts due to low pressure. But as the day went on, cooler air from the Atlantic began to flow in, bringing an end to the hot spell.

But fear not, Londoners! The sun is still shining in the capital, with plenty of sunshine expected throughout the day. The morning commute should be a bit more bearable with temperatures around 15°C by 8am. And for those wanting to escape the heat, the UV levels will remain high, so be sure to wear sunscreen. But for those with allergies, the pollen levels will also be very high.

Looking ahead to the weekend, the forecast for London is looking promising. Both Saturday and Sunday are expected to reach highs of 24°C, perfect for outdoor activities like picnics or watching the Euro 2024 games. And for those heading to Glastonbury Festival, the weather will be typically British, with sunny intervals and light showers expected.

As the festival kicks off at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset, it will become the seventh biggest city in the UK with over 210,000 people attending. And while the weather may not be as hot as it has been this week, it will still be perfect for enjoying music and soaking up the atmosphere. So whether you're heading to Glastonbury or just enjoying a day in London, the weather is on your side. Stay hydrated and enjoy the sunshine!
