On Saturday, low cloud will retreat to give way to warm, sunny spells, before the weather turns unsettled overnight.

Sunday could well mark the end of this current spell of sizzling weather, with heavy showers and thunderstorms forecast for the end of the weekend - and further thundery showers on Monday.

It is expected, however, to remain muggy for the foreseeable.

Ah well, it couldn’t last forever!
