Brits will get their first taste of summer this weekend with temperatures set to soar as high as 24C.

If you have not had your first BBQ of the year yet, then Saturday may be the time to change this amid the widespread warm sunshine.

People across the UK will be able to bask in 16-19C heat - originally from North Africa - with temperatures expected to peak at 24C in the South East.Met Office meteorologist Aidan McGivern said if temperatures do rise to 24C on Saturday, it will make it "the warmest day of the year so far"."By Saturday evening, those showers would be making an appearance into the South West, spreading quite widely into southern parts of England and south Wales," Mr McGivern said.

"In some places, it would just be a spell of rain but for central and southern England and the south coast there is the risk of some heavy downpours, thunderstorms and frequent lightning."
