Brits are set for a weekend washout in many areas but there is warmer weather not too far ahead and it could reach a sweltering 30C.
While central Europe endures extreme temperatures, the UK has had a week of showers and storms due to a low pressure which will continue over the weekend.
A high pressure, though, is pushing in gradually from the Atlantic which will mean warmer temperatures although still mixed in with showers and cloudy skies.
