A strong south to southwest flow will usher an unseasonably warm air mass over much of the United Kingdom, Ireland and western Europe this week.
A series of fast-moving disturbances will temper the warmth from Ireland into Northern Ireland and Scotland while also bringing the threat for showers at times through Thursday.
Temperatures farther south across much of Wales and England will average 4-7 C (7-13 F) above normal. Highs in London will range from 27-29 C (80-85 F) through Saturday.

A potent storm system arriving over the weekend will bring a threat for widespread rainfall before more seasonable air returns next week.
This storm system will also threaten the British Open Championship at Royal Liverpool set to take place from Thursday through Sunday. While Thursday will likely remain free of rain, the threat for delays will increase on Friday and Saturday with a lingering threat for showers on Sunday.

Much of France, including Paris, will also feel the heat this week. The combination of unseasonable warmth and increasing humidity will make it feel at least 32 degrees (90 F) during the hottest time of the day in the capital city from Thursday through Saturday.
Gusty thunderstorms will be possible on Saturday and Sunday as cooler air invades from the northwest.
The heat will build in Spain, but the threat for rain and thunderstorms will remain farther north across France and the United Kingdom.
Madrid already experienced its hottest day of the year on each of the past three days. The temperature climbed to its highest level on Tuesday when it peaked at 37 C (98 F).
Temperatures will top out near 38 C (100 F) both Wednesday and Thursday. Temperatures will fall only a degree or two on Friday before more noticeable cooling arrives for the weekend.
