Kent is set to sizzle this weekend as temperatures soar to highs of almost 30c.

A so-called "Spanish plume" will create hot and humid air across the country, bringing "good sunny spells" and "very warm" conditions this afternoon, with a maximum temperature of 27c expected.

Forecasters say conditions will turn increasingly unsettled by Sunday and into Monday, with heavy, thundery showers expected.
