SUMMER'S COMING!
UK weather forecast – 27C temperatures to kick-start summer with a weekend heat blast
Saturday could be the hottest day of the year, forecasters say
BRITAIN is set to bake in temperatures as high as 27C this weekend, as summer gets underway after a drizzly bank holiday.
Wet and windy conditions are to continue over the coming days before the scorching weather kicks in at the end of the week, forecasters say.

A spokeswoman for the Met Office said much of the country will enjoy balmy weather on Saturday, with temperatures expected to reach 27C in central regions and the south east.
She said: "If that does happen, it'll be the hottest day of the year. So far, April 19 holds the record, when temperatures reached 25.8C in Cornwall.
'HOTTEST DAY OF THE YEAR'
"Before then, things will be changeable. There'll be sunny and wet spells tomorrow. This will be followed by much of the country experiencing cloudy and rainy conditions on Wednesday and Thursday. But it will feel considerably warmer on Friday and, by Saturday, temperatures are expected to be in the low to mid twenties throughout the UK."
The hot blast comes after odds were slashed on the hottest ever June.
John Hill from bookmakers Coral said: "The early outlook for June is positive and that has prompted a flurry of bets for a record hot month in the UK.
The soaring temperatures follow last year's record-breaking summer - with a repeat of the high mercury on the cards.
