Brits prepare for three weeks of scorching sunshine with temperatures hotter than July
The mercury will start to rise to around the 25C mark with the South East edging towards the low 30s by Sunday with much of the rest of the UK comfortably in the mid 20s
BRITS are set to bask in sunshine as a hot draft of air swooping in from the continent brings in the weekend sunshine, which will remain for 20 days.
Today the mercury will start to rise to around the 25C mark with the South East edging towards the low 30s by Sunday with much of the rest of the UK comfortably in the mid 20s.
Unfortunately for those in the North of England and Scotland they will be hit by blasts of wind which could impact outdoor events.
Met Office forecaster Helen Roberts said: "Today there will be a bit of a North/South divide with some cloudier conditions across Scotland in particular, perhaps some outbreaks of rain at times, particularly in the west.

"Into Monday a change of wind direction will bring cooler air across much of the country but actually still quite bright with spells of sunshine at times, but for many a noticeably cooler day.
"Through the rest of the week it will be slightly cooler but steadily rising towards next weekend.
"After the warmer conditions next weekend the trend for the rest of the month will be normal for the time of year with warm days and sunshine for much of the country."
James Madden, forecaster for Exacta Weather said the sun was expected to shine up until the last week of the month.
He said: “The upcoming weekend will gradually see warmer air spreading in across parts of the south and to some parts of the north to bring another brief blast of heat and summer-like weather conditions, in particular, in the southern half of the country.
“Despite an interruption to some cooler weather conditions during next week it will still be more settled than of late with some decent sunny spells at times for many.
“The fresher spell will be counteracted by high pressure that will make way for another rise in temperatures and a return to summer-like conditions for many part of the country later next week, and on a potentially more prolonged scale than of late."
