Scores of people have made the most of what could be the last hot weekend this year in Merseyside, as a Spanish Plume brought sizzling temperatures.
Familes took to New Brighton to make the most of the hot weather, while plenty of sunbathers were snapped enjoying the heat in Sefton Park.
Much of the UK has enjoyed unusual levels of sunshine and warm temperatures in what is likely to be the last day of summery weather with rain expected from Sunday.
The Met Office has so far recorded highs of 25.7C (78F) occurring at Valley near Holyhead in Wales.
And in Liverpool, there were temperatures of 24C reached.
Meteorologist Becky Mitchell said: "There is plenty of sunshine out there today, it's a warm day. There's barely any clouds across most of the UK."
However, this unusually warm weather is set to come to an abrupt end on Saturday night as the remains of Hurricane Humberto hit the western side of Britain.
Ms Mitchell said that the last of the category three storm has left Bermuda and is travelling across the Atlantic towards the UK.
Much of the tropical weather system has dissipated but it is still likely to bring an area of low pressure that will see an end to the current pleasant conditions.
A Yellow weather warning has been put in place for Merseyside and is in place from 12.15 on Sunday, September 22, until 8pm the same day.
