On Thursday, strong sunshine is predicted all day, with highs of 21 degrees C.

But it's Saturday when the sunshine will really hit home, with temperatures hitting a heatwave-level of 27 degrees Celsius.

Sunshine will start at 10am on Saturday and stay bright and warm until 7pm - so Saturday might be the day to whip the BBQ out.

Sunday will be a milder 20 degrees.

Those with hayfever are being warned that pollen levels will also be HIGH.
