Another heatwave could be on the way as temperatures are set to rise in Norfolk at the end of August.

The warm weather is expected to continue into September with sunshine and light winds forecasted.

Temperatures are set to hit 27C in parts of Norfolk towards the end of next week ahead of September's arrival. 

"Temperatures overall will probably be close to average, with a chance of some short-lived very warm conditions in the south and east at times," a spokesman for the Met Office said. 

"During the first week of September, a good deal of dry and settled weather is likely across the country.

"Some rain is possible at times, but for many areas, conditions will probably be drier than average.

"After a possibly warm start to September, temperatures will gradually revert to being cooler in the northwest, and warm to average in the southeast."

It comes after temperatures soared across Norfolk earlier this month with highs of 33C - the hottest day of the year so far.

This weekend will be unsettled with the chance of showers and highs of 22C.
