Highs of around 26C (78.8F) are expected on Sunday, forecasters said, which would make the UK hotter than Los Angeles or Mykonos in Greece.
Met Office forecaster Greg Dewhurst said: “It’s been very hot in Europe over recent days and that warm air is going to drift in across quite a bit of the country on Friday and the weekend.
“There is heavy rain across parts of Scotland so it’s not everywhere that will see the warm spells of sunshine.
“Temperatures on Friday should reach highs of around 22C (71.6F), Saturday around about 25C (77F) and then Sunday around 26C, which we last saw in October in 2018.
“It’s not unheard of, but it’s on the unusual side.”
