You may have glanced at your weather app and noticed that there is somewhat of a heatwave hitting the country this weekend - pretty nice stuff, I'd say.
It would usually mean that you'd start making plans with friends to go outside and bake in the rare UK heat, possibly with a glass of wine or a cocktail to go with.
But there are potential problems that could be caused by the rise in temperature too, believe it or not.

Weather maps are indicating that we could be seeing a 'Saharan Plume' hit our shores this weekend.
Though we may be happy to hear the news, seeing as there has been a recent period of wet and windy weather as temperatures have been mixed and showers of rain have been scattered around the country.
There is set to be a period of warm weather and glorious sunshine next week, starting this weekend, as predictions indicate that temperatures will climb from Sunday, 19 May to Tuesday, 21 May.
If predictions are to be believed, then we're all about to be sun-kissed, albeit for three days, as half-term arrives.
For once, the best weather will be found predominantly in the North, specifically the North East and Yorkshire, while the Midlands will also get a piece of the heat, with temperatures expected to hit 23C.
Those in the South won't miss out though, with London, the south-east and south coast getting heat up to 24C on 26 May, while other areas will enjoy temperatures above 20C.
However, the Met Office has said that the forecast during this period is 'changeable' as temperatures will be 'just above average' for this time of year, while stating that the North will experience 'drier weather'.
But with this comes the expectation of yet another Saharan Plume that will hit the country and our cars in the next week.
This brings about a number of risks, with its dust hitting mainland Europe quite hard in April - though it is aesthetically pleasing, bringing hazy skies and breathtaking sunsets, air pollution levels skyrocketed to the point where the breached the EU's safety thresholds.
In turn, Spanish residents were left breathing in dirty air, four times above the healthy limit for contamination with PM10 articles, which could be hazardous to those with lung conditions.
You may remember that a Saharan Plume hit the UK late last year, and left our cars completely covered in dust.
Those who tried to wipe off the desert dirt found that it actually could damage the paintwork of your car and windows if not properly removed.
In order to remove it with minimal damage, it is advised that motorists do not attempt to rub or wipe away the dust, but instead rinse the vehicle thoroughly with a pre-wash, before soaking it in a snow foam soak, and thoroughly rinsing it again.
Or, you could buy a cover for your car and protect it from the impending Saharan dust, saving you a headache at the end of next week.
