Britain is set to bask in the hottest temperatures of the year so far this weekend as summer finally arrives across the country.
Sun worshippers will enjoy highs of up to 28C (82F) to 29C (84F) on Saturday in London, with temperatures soaring to 30C (86F) in parts of southern England on Sunday, while most of the UK will feel the heat in the mid to high 20s.
Crowds gathering in Hyde Park to watch The Rolling Stones later can expect to swelter in the sunshine, and Britain's Andy Murray will feel the glare of more than just the eyes of the Wimbledon faithful tomorrow.
The sun rises over a ship off the coast near Tynemouth, in the North East The weather is much hotter than usual for the time of year - the average maximum temperature for July in England is 20.9C (69.5F).
Many parts of the country can expect to enjoy temperatures on par with popular Spanish holiday resorts.
And the heat wave gripping Britain this July shows no signs of letting up, according to Sky News Weather Presenter Nazaneen Ghaffar, with the good weather expected to last throughout next week and beyond.
It means the UK is on course to enjoy its longest spell of hot weather since 2006, when temperatures were above 28C in many areas for around a fortnight.
The Serpentine Lake in Hyde Park, central London She said: "Finally it seems the summer weather has arrived and is set to stick around for a while.
"This weekend the mercury could rise up to 30C (86F) in the south-east of England, elsewhere will be very warm as well with temperatures into the mid to high 20s.
"This time of the year the average maximum temperature in England is 20.9C so most areas will be above that.
"However, not everywhere will bask in the sunshine. Most of Scotland and Ireland will have cloudier skies with rain across the far north-west on Saturday, slowly spreading south and eastwards bringing a few showers to northern England by Sunday.
"Although the north-west of the UK and Ireland will be mostly cloudy, there will be some sunny spells at times and in the sunshine it will still feel quite warm."
Sunb lovers flock to Fistral Beach in Newquay "Coastal areas will be another exception to the sunshine and warmth. Throughout the weekend and into next week it will feel cooler around the coasts with onshore breezes. Mist or low cloud may plague some coasts too.
"Although most people will enjoy this sunny period, for some it will be too hot, especially across the south this weekend. UV levels will be very high on Sunday and Monday as will pollen levels for the next few days."
More recently, temperatures peaked at 30.7C (87F) between July 23 and 26, last year.
The previous highest temperature of 2013 so far has been 27C (80F) on June 30, but recent years have seen Britons endure wet and overcast summers.
