Scotland will bake in warm temperatures over the coming days - but will miss out on the searing hot sunshine expected in England and Wales.
A health alert has been issued in England, with temperatures expected to peak as high as 34C south of the border on Friday.
But the temperatures appear to dip as you travel up to Scotland, with the southeast of the country seeing a high of 21C on Friday - which is still four degrees above average for the time of the year.
