Scorching weather is set to hit the UK this weekend as part of the July heatwave.
Temperatures in Liverpool are set to soar into the twenties across the next few days as the Met Office have issued a warning urging people to exercise caution during the hot weather.
However, many people are unable to enjoy the sunny spells this weekend after they have been forced to self isolate due to coming into contact with someone who has tested positive for Coronavirus.

The UK recorded its highest levels of Covid cases since January this week - and the NHS Test and Trace App has reportedly 'pinged' a record number of users with around 500,000 people receiving an alert that they need to self isolate.
While Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick has admitted the government is 'concerned' with the number of people being alerted by the app, the current system will be in place until August 16 when fully vaccinated people will no longer be told to isolate if they have came into contact with someone who has tested positive for Coronavirus.
And people have taken to Twitter to express their frustration at having to self isolate during the sunny weather.
One user said: "Gorgeous sunny day but self isolating til we get results back. So a day of housework awaits - and Monopoly "
Another tweeted: "What a beautiful hot and sunny day. Perfect weather to be isolating in without a garden"
A third added: "WHYS IT ALWAYS SUNNY WEATHER WHEN IM ISOLATING"
