Parts of the UK will bask in 24C heat today as the balmy summer conditions continue.
On Saturday crowds flocked to beaches and parks across the country to make the most of the fine June weather.
And the rest of the weekend looks set to be no different with the heat hanging around for the next few days.
Temperatures will edge close to the mid 20s in London, the southeast and the east of the country, with the rest of England floating around the 20C mark, according to the Met Office.
The forecast also suggests Scotland and Northern Ireland will experience pleasant temperatures in the high teens as the weekend draws to a close.
The majority of the country will be blessed with long sunny spells providing more opportunities for weekend sunbathing.
There will be some rain in the north of Britain early in the morning but this looks set to clear as the day goes on.
By the time this area of rain reaches the south of the country it is expected to just be a cloudy mass.

Overnight, most of the UK will stay dry, except for western Scotland which faces a bout of heavy rain and brisk breezes.
Some misty and foggy patches are also expected to arrive in parts of the country.
The sunny conditions are expected to continue into next week with most of the country likely to bathe in sun on Monday, although things might be patchy in parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland.
A sudden shift of wind at the start of the week will see temperatures soar further, with the heat set to get as high as 26C in London in the afternoon.
Most of Britain will enjoy pleasant summer weather with temperatures in the early 20s.
The combination of winds and higher temperatures is not all good news, however, with higher than usual pollen counts expected on Monday as a result.
More settled conditions on Sunday and at the start of next week replace a damper start to the weekend which saw rain in the north of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Manston, Kent got 49mm of rain in the first 24 hours of the weekend while the highest temperature was recorded in Hull at 27.2C.

Floodwater gushed down residential streets on Friday night as parts of Britain were hit by an intense thunderstorm on the hottest day of the year so far.
The UK recorded its warmest day of 2025 on Friday, with temperatures reaching a sizzling 29C, the Met Office said.
However, the forecasting service warned thunderstorms were ‘pushing into’ the Channel, with an amber weather warning for severe thunderstorms in the east and south-east coming into force at 8pm on Friday.

The vehicle appeared to be moved down the street by the extreme force of the water, which resembled a flooded river or stream.
Elsewhere, around London, a video clip showed huge lightening strikes in the sky over houses, with those inside the properties shouting out in awe.
It came as some parts of the UK were simultaneously plunged into official drought after the driest spring in over a century.

Forecasters warned the coming days would bring wild swings between tropical heat and violent downpours.
The Met Office warned some areas could be hit by up to two inches of rain in just a few hours, with gusty winds reaching up to 50mph, lightning strikes, hail, and the risk of flooding and travel issues.
Amid all the chaos, the Environment Agency officially declared a drought in Yorkshire this week, where some areas have seen less than 50 per cent of average rainfall this spring and just three-quarters of the May average.
It followed a similar move in north-west England last month, and a developing drought zone in parts of the Welsh Water network.
The agency warned that the prolonged dry period has drastically reduced water supplies and could pose a serious risk to wildlife, agriculture, and public health. Hosepipe bans and water restrictions may be introduced if the situation worsens.
A spokesperson said: ‘A drought is a prolonged dry period that reduces available water supplies and can negatively impact the environment, people and wildlife.’
Simon Partridge added: ‘We’ve got a very warm, humid, spell of wet weather to come.’
Under the UKHSA’s alert system, the yellow alert signals a likely increase in healthcare demand, particularly from over-65s and people with heart or lung conditions.
