Following some much-needed rain in the north and north-west of the UK this weekend, temperatures will rise back to heatwave threshold levels in many locations.
Maximum temperatures are forecast to climb as high as 35C (95F) in the hottest areas.
It comes as some parts of the UK will only have just seen an end to their third heatwave, after three consecutive weeks above the temperature threshold.
Sunday will be a cooler day for all of the UK as it begins cloudy with a little bit of rain for southern and eastern areas.
