Yellow heat health alerts are in force with temperatures expected to hit 34C ( 93F ) in parts of the UK this weekend .

This looks set to be the most widespread and persistent spell of hot weather so far this year with all four nations set to meet their heatwave criteria.

High pressure will be moving across the UK giving increasing amounts of sunshine.

As that high shifts eastwards a flow of winds from continental Europe will develop and temperatures will climb.
