The UK is set to sizzle in a 30C mini-heatwave by the end of this week - but forecasters have warned that sunseekers won't have long to enjoy the weather.
The Met Office said the welcome summery spell is a result of a warmer air mass from the south due to an amplification in the jet stream.
Those in Scotland and Northern Ireland, however, will miss out on the heat and should expect thunderous and wet conditions during this period.
Thunderous and more changeable conditions will prevail by the end of Saturday and will continue into next week.
