Summer is finally here!
PA
After months of rain, the sun has finally come out - and it looks like the weather will be fine for the start of the Olympics.
The Telegraph reports that athletes arriving at Heathrow yesterday enjoyed temperatures of 23C, which is some of the warmest weather we've had so far this summer.
It's expected to get warmer still over the next few days, reaching up to 30C in London by Wednesday.
There is a risk of showers from Thursday, but forecasters are hopeful that the Opening Ceremony on Friday night will escape the rain.
According to the Daily Mail, temperatures are expected to hit a high of 24C today with the South, South East and parts of Wales getting the best of the weather and the rest of Britain seeing a mixture of sunshine and clouds.
Forecasters say that it's still to early to say if the weather will be sunny for the whole of the Olympics, but families will be relieved that the school holidays are getting off to a warm and dry start.
