Forecasters say more sunshine, along with winds from continental Europe, will bring a spell of hot weather but not enough to warrant another heatwave.
Sunny spells across the south are set to reach 23°C on Saturday, before rising above 24°C on Sunday.
Northern England, the Midlands and large parts of the south west will a high of 24°C on Sunday as the UK’s sunny spell comes to an end.

High pressure will be the dominant feature, bringing with it a lot of dry weather over the weekend, Met Office meteorologist Alex Deakin said.
Sunshine will also “make a big difference to the feel of the day” on Sunday, where temperatures will reach the low 20s in many areas, and the mid 20s in the south, Mr Deakin said.
“By the time we get to Monday…I think we’ll see more blue skies generally.”

It is possible there could be thundery showers from Wednesday (Photo: Stringer/Anadolu via Getty Images)Wet and windy weather could sweep across the UK if the remnants of Hurricane Erin put an end to the UK’s dry spell next week.
Forecasters are tracking the potential impact of the category two storm, which is moving eastwards across the North Atlantic, but say any effect on the UK would not happen until at least the middle of next week.
Met Office meteorologist Tom Morgan said: “It is too early for specific details about which parts of the country will see the windiest and wettest weather.
“What we can say is that it will gradually turn less hot and be more generally changeable.”
It is possible there could be thundery showers from Wednesday and “more especially” on Thursday and Friday next week at which point the weather system will officially be an ex-hurricane.
Mr Morgan added: “We are also likely to see some very large waves.
“Ex-hurricane Erin will bring quite a large swell in the sea so we could potentially see waves of four to five metres in height for the western isles of Scotland and Ireland and so for holidaymakers going to the coast, that could prove quite a hazard.”
He said this potentially unsettled weather is still “a long way in the future” and should not cause any disruption to festivals and other outdoor events.
