The first heat health warning of the year has been issued - a rare amber level alert - with six regions of Britain set to be affected.
Forecasters are predicting temperatures of up to 30C this weekend, in what would smash the current 2023 hottest day of the year record.
Parts of the UK will be hotter than Marbella, Ibiza and Tenerife thanks to a "plume of warm air" moving in from the south.
