A spell of warmer and more settled weather is expected to develop across the UK into the weekend, with temperatures likely to reach mid 20s Celsius in some areas.
This follows a cool and unsettled week, with showery conditions currently dominating much of the country.
An unsettled regime will continue across the UK on Friday. Temperatures will remain a little below average overall, although the strength of the June sunshine between showers may provide a short-term boost, making conditions feel pleasantly warm in more sheltered areas by Friday.
By the weekend the weather is expected to improve with a shift towards more settled conditions across the UK.
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Greg Wolverson, said: “As we move into the weekend the jet stream temporarily shifts northwards, allowing high pressure to build from the south.
“This brings a drier and warmer weekend for many. Saturday will see a more settled day of weather across southern areas, with some sunny spells developing. Temperatures here could reach 22-23°C. Northern areas may still see some cloud and occasional rain early on, but conditions are expected to improve here too later in the day.
“Sunday looks set to be widely dry across the UK, with further sunshine and temperatures continuing to rise. Many western parts of the UK can expect maximum temperatures in the low 20s Celsius, with the warmest spots likely across southern England where temperatures may reach 23-24°C, bringing a notably warmer feel compared to earlier in the week”
