Brits are set for blistering temperatures at the end of this week and going into next with the hottest days of the year as the mercury rises to 25C.
Ahead of that and the picture is of warm temperatures especially in the south of England but with showers coming in from the north and west.
The unsettled weather will move aside by Friday when a high pressure system bringing hot air comes in from North Africa and will see a run of days where the mercury will be in the mid-20Cs.
