Britain is expected to bask in one of the best May bank holiday Mondays in years, with temperatures set to reach 21C in some parts.
But forecasters have warned that the overall forecast for the weekend is not as good as it was with cloudy skies and even some rain at various points over the weekend.
Earlier, some had been predicting the hottest days of the year so far taking place over the weekend, but that has now been scaled back.
Sky weather presenter Isobel Lang said: "The early spring Bank Holiday can be rather cool and mixed, as we have seen in recent years.
"This year looks to be a pretty good one with many places set to be fine and dry with Monday looking the warmest of the days.
"After cloudier skies with showers at first on Saturday, it should brighten up well for most in the afternoon with just northwest Scotland staying damp. It'll feel quite cool in the breeze.
"Sunday will feel warmer again with lighter winds and cloud breaking to give some sunny periods. Western Scotland should see some rain again.
"For Bank Holiday Monday, apart from rain in the North West again, most places should be fine with warm sunshine developing.
"Highs of around 21C are likely in the South East and nearer 17C in the North West."
This Monday is predicted to be one of the best May Bank Holidays for years This year's expected sunny Bank Holiday will be a big improvement on last year, which saw rain and a temperature high of just 16C at Exeter Airport.
The warmest Bank Holiday Monday in recent years was in 2008 when London reached 23C and even the coldest part of Scotland got up to 14C, with much of the country seeing sunshine.
This year looks similar for England, Wales, central Scotland and Northern Ireland with temperatures ranging into the mid and high teens across most areas with plenty of sun.
The recent warm weather and earlier good forecasts have led to a wave of optimism, with people around the country planning barbecues and other events.
Supermarkets and other stores have reported large quantities of barbecue foods being sold and also increased sales of items like nail varnish.
The fine weather, however, is not good news for hay fever sufferers, who the Met Office said are likely to struggle through the weekend, with high levels of pollen expected across England.
Norfolk saw blue skies and fine weather last week The pollen count will increase as temperatures heat up and the worst conditions are expected on Sunday and Monday, according to forecasters.
Alexander Burkill, of the Met Office, said tree pollen would be more significant than grass pollen until the middle of May.
He said the tree pollen count will be high towards the end of the weekend, adding: "Today we've got a fair bit of cloud and the rain coming down, so it's going to go down to moderate.
"On to Sunday and Monday in places, especially across England and especially in the south east, you're looking that it could get up to high."
