Fine, clear blue skies and sunshine are expected throughout the weekend as temperatures soar. Met Office meteorologist Sophie Yeomans said: “There will be plenty of blue skies, sunshine really warm temperatures throughout the weekend. “Temperatures rising day-on-day with some record-breaking temperatures by the time we get to Sunday and Monday.”
However, a weather front in the northwest will bring spots of rain and cloud to northwestern parts of Scotland and some western counties of Northern Ireland on Saturday.
Ms Yeomans said the rest of the UK will enjoy clear skies.
She continued: “Elsewhere though, plenty of clear blue skies and sunshine around.
“We will see those temperatures rising to 25C in some parts of the southeast.
