Temperatures peak on Friday but the warmth is being felt today, although quelled by passing rain with a risk of thunderstorms.

The day begins with a band of rain sweeping in from the south-west, this travels through the day with rising heat bringing ripe thunderstorm conditions by the afternoon.

Every morning, we take a trip across the world courtesy of our international users around the globe!
