A SHORT burst of heat is on the way in Bradford.

Temperatures will reach 24C tomorrow and 27C on Monday in the city, according to the Met Office.

However, the warm air mass will likely become displaced by fresher conditions from Tuesday.

There is also the threat of heavy rain and thunderstorms for some parts of the country in the coming days, the Met Office predicted.

Met Office deputy chief meteorologist, Dan Holley, said: "We expect to see a relatively brief hotter and more humid spell of weather for Sunday and Monday, before these hotter conditions recede on Tuesday, allowing more unsettled conditions to return.

"This change to hotter conditions is caused, in part, by the effects of Tropical Storm Debby in North America.

"Debby is helping to strengthen the jet stream, causing it to meander over the Atlantic.

"This will allow hot air over France to move into the UK later this weekend and early next week."

He added: "Along with the rise in temperatures, there is also an increasing threat of heavy rain and thunderstorms on Sunday night and into Monday.

"This looks most likely across portions of Wales, northern England, Northern Ireland and southern and eastern Scotland, but the advice is to keep up to date with the latest forecast and any warnings."
