BRITS will enjoy soaking up the 25C heat today in the hottest day of the Jubilee Bank holiday weekend before a thunderstorm warning later.
The Met Office have said that the day will start with “blue skies in the south and far northwest” although it is expected to be much cloudier in other areas.

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Rebekah Sherwin said: “Temperatures could reach 25C in the south on Friday, although this will likely be the warmest day and later in the weekend the highest temperatures are likely to be in the northwest.”
Western areas look most likely to see a few heavier showers on Friday, with a small chance of one or two for central parts, while areas further to the east should get the best of any sunshine.
It comes as the Queen’s Jubilee weekend saw Brits come together across the UK to celebrate Her Majesty’s 70 years on the throne.
Brits up and down the country celebrated on Thursday as a scorching mini-heatwave arrived.
The mercury climbed to a balmy 22C in south-eastern England on Thursday, with temperatures in the high teens and mid-20s elsewhere.
And after a plume of tropical air swept in from the continent yesterday, Brits will luckily be seeing more sun before showers start to spread north over Friday night.
The Met’s Friday forecast said: “Any mist or fog lifting to give another dry morning with long sunny periods.
“Sunshine continuing into the afternoon, but a little hazier in the west. Showers spreading north overnight.”
