On Saturday, the Met Office forecasts hot and dry weather across much of the country.
While, the previous hottest day of the year was recorded at 21.8°C in Writtle, Essex, in April.
Met Office meteorologist Alex Burkill said Saturday will be "another fine day" for many, with temperatures possibly hitting 25 or 26°C. London, Cardiff, and Birmingham are expected to see the warmest weather.
However, Sunday morning will start warm, with London reaching 25°C, but clouds will move in later in the day in the west and southwest of England. Wales, Scotland, and northwest England may experience scattered showers and thunder in the evening.
Additionally, Liam Eslick from the Met Office explained that the warm temperatures are attributed to a high-pressure system settling over the UK,bringing warm and sunny weather.
While, cooler temperatures and unsettled weather are expected next week, with rain and showers moving in from the West.
Pollen levels may increase to moderate to high levels over the next five days due to the warmer weather.
Moreover, the warm weekend is part of a natural variation in weather, though it could become more common in the future due to climate change.
