BRITAIN is set to bake in 25C heat for the next two days - but forecasters have warned there will be thunderstorms before the week's out.
Heavy showers, thunderstorms and hailstones are expected to break out across Britain by Wednesday - and hang around until the weekend.
Today will be warm with plenty of sunshine for most areas before cloud moves into the west, bringing with it a lot of rain.
But by the afternoon, heavy showers are expected to break out in Northern Ireland, western Scotland and the south coasts of England and Wales.
Tuesday is set to see the first thunderstorms of the week in south-east England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland.

But it will remain dry and mostly sunny elsewhere.
Wednesday will remain warm and humid with thundery showers in northern areas but largely fine elsewhere with long sunny spells.
Met Office forecaster Tom Crocker said we have already seen the hottest day of the week with temperatures yesterday reaching 26C to 27C.
Temperatures will begin to gradually drop from today through to Thursday.
He added that by Tuesday, "there will be widespread showers breaking out across most of the country that will get heavy and see some thundery downpours so this may perhaps be a shock to the system for some."
The Met Office's Emma Sillitoe added: "On Wednesday, it will be similar again with isolated showers across the south west and the western coast of England but heavy at times across Scotland.
Temperatures will be around 22-23C.
"Thursday will be much drier, with one or two showers in Scotland but most places in England will be warm and sunny with highs of around 24-25C.
"Friday will be similar however a band of rain will move through later on in the day from the west.
"Next weekend the rain will continue but it will feel quite warm in the south-east. Eastern coastal areas of England will feel cooler.
"From next week and the remainder of the month, temperatures will return to what we would expect for the time of year, with an average of 20C in the south and 16-17C in northern parts of the country."
