So England is going to get a scorcher next week, what about Brittany? Much of the same?
Yep - and if the high is centered over the UK, then the winds to Brittany will be travelling over the continent - bone dry! (Anticyclone high pressure, winds travel clockwise).

Heatwave!
Bets on what happens first. Motorway melts or the train tracks bend?

Image below of a tweet someone sent out comparing the chart for 28 June 1976 to 28 June 2018. Similarities are staggering. Of course, weather is globally driven, so differences elsewhere will cause changes to mean it won't be 1976-like in the long run.

Brief dip in temps Thurs/Fri. And then the heat buids.

And maybe a bit more building....
Low 30s likely far and wide by mid week next week. Mid 30s possible later...
This could make rowing 90 miles a slightly warm experience... And builds.

Perhaps a small wobble today, but only in terms of temps. The heatwave is nailed on, but we may be pushing up to 30 degrees instead of 35. I think most would agree that's preferred!
Aaaaand we've wobbled back. Winds are showing with a more SErly direction next week instead of Easterly. This brings a more continental flow, and so more warmth. Back above 30 degrees next week.

Hasn't rained properly in the SE for weeks,is the hosepipe ban,water shortage started yet ?
Up in the NW we've had almost nothing now for a couple of months and I was wondering the same thing. Given the length of time we've been without rain I'd have expected mutterings about droughts by now.However all the reservoirs look full still - for example those visible from the M62 such as Scammonden.
