Brits can look forward to sweltering heat with 25C highs over the weekend but there are also warnings of thunderstorms.
After Wednesday, which was a rainy day for much of the country, the showers will gradually move away over the next couple of days and make way for a high pressure system coming in from North Africa.
The highest temperatures over the next few days will be in the south with it reaching 20C today and a degree or two more on Friday before peaking at 25C over the weekend.
