But Brits looking to bask in beer garden weather could be disappointed this weekend, as moderately sunny spells dampen overnight.
London will enjoy highs of 22c this afternoon, while central England will see 20c and 21c.
Wales will reach 16c, and in Northern Ireland temperatures will hit around 17c. It will be a cooler affair in Scotland, with temperatures reaching around 10-11c.
Those hoping to enjoy the sunny weather will have to do so today, as the climate cools down towards Sunday.

The south of England will be cloudy and will expect some showers from Saturday night, with temperatures dropping to 13c on Sunday.
Heavy rain is expected across Scotland tomorrow, with showers across the north of England and Wales.
Met Office chief meteorologist Tony Wardle said: "There'll be some dry and sunny weather in the forecast for Saturday, with temperatures reaching into the low 20s Celsius for many across central and southern parts of the UK.
"Not everywhere will be dry and warm though, with further rain arriving in Scotland and Northern Ireland later on Saturday.
"With the high temperatures this weekend there's also the chance of one or two showers popping up in places, especially in the southeast on Saturday.

"Sunday will be a much cloudier day for most with outbreaks of rain across northern parts of the country.
"The rain will be heavy in Scotland at times, where it'll feel rather cool in the northerly breeze and temperatures of around 12 to 15 Celsius.
"By Monday it'll feel notably cooler as fresher air from the Atlantic spreads to all parts of the UK.
"There'll be frequent showers and some heavy, thundery bursts at times too, although it'll be drier and brighter in the south at times, with some sunny spells."
The weather will be "cool and unsettled" on Bank Holiday Monday, according to the Met Office, with a mixture of sunny spells and scattered heavy showers.
This will continue onto Tuesday, with fewer showers expected on Wednesday, though temperatures are expected to stay cool.
