Come Thursday, August 7, temperatures could reach 30C in Birmingham.
Weather maps from WX Charts have turned red that day, with 30C heat forecast for large parts of England.
In its long-range forecast from August 4 to 13, the Met Office said: "Early next week there is the potential for an unseasonably deep area of low pressure to affect the UK, which would bring widely windy and wet weather, especially for the west or northwest of the UK.
"The forecast around this is rather uncertain, however, and it is also possible that this will turn into a less windy but still wet spell further south.
"Following this, a continuation of the broadly changeable pattern is expected, with spells of rain or showers, some drier, brighter interludes and temperatures mainly near average.

UK weather: Yellow heat health alert issued - with temperatures set to hit 30C
A yellow heat health alert has been issued for large parts of the UK - with warm summer weather set to return from next week. The warning has been issued by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) from 12pm on Monday until 6pm on Wednesday. The alert covers Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, East of England, London, the southeast and the southwest. The UKHSA said the alert means significant impacts are possible across health and social care services due to the high temperatures. According to the Met Office, temperatures are set to hit 27C (81F) in parts of southern England over the weekend, with bright sunny weather in the early part of the week and temperatures expected to exceed 30C (86F) in places across parts of central, southern and eastern England on Monday and Tuesday. Sky News' Kirsty McCabe said: "High pressure will extend from the Azores, allowing temperatures to rise, especially in the south where heatwave criteria is likely to be met early next week. "The fourth heatwave of the summer will see temperatures reach the high 20s or low 30s, peaking around 33C (91F) on Tuesday across central and southern parts of England. "Overnight temperatures will also rise, leading to some warm and stuffy nights from Monday night onwards. "The current wet and unseasonably windy conditions across northern Scotland will also clear next week, with warmer weather expected here too." But she added the rising temperatures could spark off a few heavy and thundery downpours. Read more from Sky News: Met Office deputy chief meteorologist, Steven Keates, said: "We're confident that temperatures will increase markedly by the start of next week, reaching the low 30s Celsius in parts of England on Monday and perhaps the mid 30s in a few places on Tuesday. "However, the length of this warm spell is still uncertain, and it is possible that high temperatures could persist further into next week, particularly in the south."
