Hot for many, but rain for some...
Hot, Continental air looks set to spread it's way across southern, central and eastern parts of England through the course of Saturday and Sunday. Temperatures could be rising to 30C on Saturday and perhaps 32C on Sunday in London.
It isn't going to be hot and dry for everyone though. Indications are that heavy, thundery rain is going to be affecting Ireland and western Scotland through the course of the day and this could lead to localised flooding in some places.
That then sets us up for a gradual breakdown in the weather into next week. It'll probably be Tuesday or Wednesday before all places have the unsettled conditions, but by then low pressure is going to be in control. It will become much cooler and wetter everywhere.
Whatever the weather, keep the sun shining.
