Another heatwave next week

Another heat wave is on the horizon. Our break from extreme heat will continue until Friday, with sunshine and temperatures between 26 and 29 degrees.

But forecasters say another heatwave is on the way. After probable weekend storms, highs could move above 30 again  next week. 

Meteorologists warn the expected rain won't be enough to ease the country's ongoing drought.
