London is set to enjoy a- mostly- warm and sunny weekend with temperatures reaching 27 C on Friday.

Today (Thursday) will be dry, bright and warm, with increasing amounts of sunshine through the day and maximum temperature of 26 C.

Tonight Londoners can bask in some glorious evening sunshine. It will be warm, muggy, and remain dry with clear spells and light winds.

A mild start to Friday will develop into long spells of sunshine. By the afternoon, it will become hot and humid which may trigger some heavy, potentially thundery showers inland. However, these will give way to more sunshine in the evening.

Saturday to Monday looks to feel fresher and less muggy than of late but there will still be plenty of sunny spells. Expect some scattered showers on Monday.
