Temperatures set to soar in sunny Britain
The warm weather conditions in many areas of the UK at the minute are set to get even hotter throughout the coming week, according to the Met Office.
Forecasters have said that high temperatures of 25 degrees C were possible in parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland on Tuesday, and the dry and sunny conditions are expected to continue right through the week.
Over the weekend, hot Mediterranean air is expected to move in and temperatures could reach a scorching 30 degrees C in some parts of England and Wales, forecasters predict.
However, the Met Office warned that the higher temperatures could trigger off a few thunderstorms in some areas, although there would still be plenty of strong sunshine on offer.
Sea breezes are also expected to keep coastal areas refreshingly cooler and there is also the chance of some patchy mist in these areas.
It's also good news for fans travelling to Germany for the World Cup, which starts on Friday, as highs of around 30 degrees C are expected for England's first group match against Paraguay in Frankfurt on Saturday afternoon.
