A Met Office spokesperson said, “Although figures will fall very slightly tomorrow with the south-easterly wind no longer coming up from the Continent, it will still be very pleasant, with temperatures reaching around 21C.”

And the good news for those stuck in work is that, although temperatures are expected to dip slightly, warm sunny spells are still anticipated.

“Over the weekend there are more chances of showers during the afternoon, but there is a chance some will miss them entirely,” the Met Office spokesperson continued.

“The temperatures should stay in double figures — at least 18C.”

Meanwhile, NHS Tayside is advising people to take important steps to stay safe in the sun.

Although doctors at Ninewells have so far not treated anyone for severe sunburn or sunstroke, they urge people to remember the dangerous impact the sun can have.

Tips like seeking shade when the sun is hottest (between 11am and 3pm), covering up with loose-fitting clothes, using a high-factor sun-cream, drinking enough fluid and wearing a hat can all prevent problems.

Consultant dermatologist Dr Colin Fleming, said, “Exposure to UV light increases the risk of skin cancer and it also prematurely ages the skin.

“Those looking after children should remember young skin is delicate and very easily damaged.

“All children, no matter whether they tan easily or not, should be protected.

“Young people are more vulnerable to the effects of sunlight and if children get burnt, it increases the risk of skin cancer later in life.

“In Tayside, around 170 patients are affected with malignant melanomas each year and 20-30% of these patients will die.

“There are also a further 1200 non-malignant skin cancers removed in Tayside every year.”
