Hot weather to last until Olympic opening ceremony
The outlook for the rest of the week is good news for organisers of the London Olympics, as the hot and dry conditions are set to prevail until Friday's opening ceremony.
Helen Rossington, a forecaster for MeteoGroup, said: "At the moment it is looking like the only risk of showers on Friday will be in the evening, at 5pm or 6pm, so if there is rain it should be before the opening ceremony starts at 9pm."
"The south of England will see temperatures of 25C (77F) on Friday, but things will start to cool down again on Saturday as we return to temperatures of 20C (68F)."
