Suffolk could see the hottest day of the year on Friday with temperatures predicted to soar as high as 34C across the county.
The UK is set to be treated to a short warm spell with temperatures expected to reach the high 20s today before rising again tomorrow.
However, there could be a rainy end to the nice weather with possible thunderstorms appearing during Friday evening.
Zoe Johnson, forecaster for Weatherquest, said that if temperatures do reach the predicted 31-34 degrees tomorrow it would be the warmest day of the year so far.
She said: “There are a few patchy areas of cloud this morning but today will mostly be dry and warm.
“It will be a lovely day and if you are not such a big fan of really warm temperature it will be the nicer of the two days.
“There is a south easterly wind which is bringing the warmer air from the continent to the UK.
