According to the Met Office, today will see some rainfall across Northern Ireland and the West Coast of Scotland.
Thanks to "ex-Hurricane Dorian" however, the drizzle will ease off overnight with a clear start to Thursday as the weather improves and the heatwave arrives.
The remnants of Tropical Storm Gabrielle will see some rain sweep in.
But showers will ease off and the storm will be nothing but a light breeze by the time it reaches the southeast of England.
Friday will be great, particularly in England and Wales with the weekend bringing bright sunshine and temperatures as high as 25C.
