Get the sunshades out. The sun is expected to break through the clouds bringing temperatures of up to 26 degrees in the south east on Friday.

There’s a chance of rain on Saturday, according to the KNMI weather institute, cooler but sunny weather on Sunday, and then temperatures are expected to recover after the weekend.

Next week, ‘summery’ temperatures are more likely, says the institute, but there is also a 50% chance of rain.
