The Queen's Platinum Jubilee weekend looks set to be a scorcher in Ayrshire.
The region is forecast to be among the warmest areas in the UK this coming weekend which will be welcome news for those hosting street parties.
Today, Ayrshire should encounter highs of 17C with sunny intervals and a moderate breeze.
However, Saturday will see highs of 21C across the region and 20C on Sunday with both days sunny with a slight breeze.
Bank holiday Monday won't be as glorious with highs of 17C with sunny intervals throughout the day.
It's predicted that Scotland's west coast will have the best weather in the country.
Despite a positive outlook for Scotland this weekend on the weather front, the same can't be said for England, Wales and Northern Ireland, with uncertainty over the forecast.
Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Rebekah Sherwin said: “It may be an unsettled start to the long weekend for some with showers for Northern Ireland, Wales and western England.
"However, many parts will see much more settled conditions, with plenty of dry weather and good spells of sunshine. Temperatures could reach 25C in the south on Friday, although this will likely be the warmest day and later in the weekend the highest temperatures are likely to be in the northwest.
“A plume of warm air, currently across the continent, then pushes north over the UK through the weekend. There remains some uncertainty on how far north it will stretch but southern areas are likely to see a spell of showers on Saturday and Sunday, which could turn heavy and thundery at times. However, there will also be some breaks in the cloud even here, and northern areas are most likely to stay fine and dry.
“Northern Ireland, Scotland and northern England look like they’ll see the driest conditions from Saturday onwards, most likely enjoying some prolonged periods of sunshine.”
