The UK will be basking in hot sun this weekend as the high temperatures look set to spread.

On Friday, parts of Britain were hotter than Rome, Athens, Istanbul, LA and New York, with temperatures predicted to reach 21C (70F).

->Average temperatures for this time of year are 7C (45F) in Scotland, and 12C (54F) in London.
