Some Britons are set to bask in 73F (23C) heat this weekend as good weather finally returns to parts of the UK after a miserable start to the months and people flocked to the beaches.
Parts of the south and east of England will see sunshine break through the clouds for parts of the day on Saturday but the forecast isn’t quite as optimistic in others parts of the UK.
Other areas hoping to enjoy a sun-soaked heatwave weekend may have had their plans ruined as it is predicted many parts of the UK will be hit with low cloud and showers.
The Met Office predicted many parts of the UK will be covered in cloud this weekend, with some breaks in the gloomier weather in southern parts of the country and sunny spells in the south.
Meteorologist Aidan McGivern said: ‘There is a lot of cloud across the UK this weekend, some rain but by no means a washout, there will be plenty of dry weather as well.
‘Early morning Scotland sees showers continue as well as the breeze. Away from the showers there will be some clear spells and temperatures into the single figures.’
