The weather is at last starting to improve as the UK looks ahead to the hottest day of the year so far.
The Mirror reports that the UK is in line for a seven-day heatwave from next week, and Bristol is forecast 28C heat on Wednesday.
According to the Met Office, rain will be clearing on most eastern parts of the UK on Sunday morning.
Most areas will then see a mixture of sunny spells and blustery showers, with these being heaviest in the northwest with a risk of thunder.
