THIS bank holiday weekend is set to be a scorcher.

Temperatures are forecast to soar up to 24 degrees Celsius and plenty of sunshine is expected.

Saturday will see highs of 23 degrees and lows of 14.

It'll be quite cloudy for most of the day, but the sun will peek out from behind the clouds around 4pm.

The UV index will hit 6 around 1pm, so make sure you've got plenty of sun  cream on.

Humidity levels will be high - between 67 and 96 per cent - but no rain is forecast.

A super-sunny Sunday will see temperatures ranging from 14 to 24 degrees C, and a UV index of up to 7.

Again, it should be fairly humid, with 58 to 83 per cent humidity.

Finally, on Bank Holiday Monday itself, it should be 13 to 23 degrees Celsius, with a mixture of sun and cloudiness, a UV index hitting highs of 6, and humidity ranging from 65 to 87 per cent.
