Plymouth is on the cusp of a prolonged heatwave and the August Bank Holiday weekend promises to be an absolute scorcher, according to the Met Office.
Weather experts says temperatures are about to soar thanks to a blast of hot air blowing over from the tropics.
Plymouth should expect five days of scorching sun, limited cloud cover and virtually zero rain - what more could you possibly ask for?
August Bank Holiday fun in the sun
The party gets underway on Friday with day temperatures reaching 20C.
And it'll be pretty much the same come the evening - right around the time families pile out of work and hit the beach or a blissful beer garden for an ice cold beer.
On Saturday, it'll start to feel hot, hot hot, with temperatures climbing to 24C - and it'll apparently feel hotter than northern parts of France. Though not quite as balmy as sun-kissed Barcelona or Ibiza, where it'll ramp up to 28/29C.
Sunday promises to be a belter
The Plymouth sun will be in full swing after a morning of light cloud, which will mainly hang over coastal areas before burning off come the afternoon, Met Office forecaster Luke Miall said.
Just when you start to think it'll start to cool off, or rain will make its way in - it'll start to get EVEN hotter.
It'll be swimmingly hot at 25C on Sunday, once early morning fog fades away, Luke explained.
Dogs in hot cars
The heatwave peaks on Monday with temperatures in Plymouth reaching 26C - perfect barbecue weather.
The momentum continues into next week with Tuesday and Wednesday equally swelteringly hot.
The rest of September is looking very promising as well.
Dry and sunny spells will dominate right through to September 19, so say the Met Office.
"Temperatures are generally likely to be warmer than average, although there is little indication of anything exceptional at this time," sun experts say.
