The weather in the UK is hotting up with people in London set to see highs of nearly 30C and with it, a high pollen count.
However whilst Scotland won't hit the same double digit figure, we're still set to see it reach 22C with forecasters warning Scots of the high pollen count too.
According to the Met Office, temperatures will peak to 22C tomorrow (June 23) and stay in its 20C until the weekend with Friday set to see a high of 21C.

Remaining in the double figures, the weekend will see highs of just below 20C sitting at 19C and 18C across both days.
However whilst we may not have weather that calls for a BBQ, the pollen count is still going up.
The Met Office have said that today's pollen count (June 22) remains 'very high' whilst tomorrow will also see the red warning.
Friday's warning will remain in the amber zone at 'high' where it will then go back up to 'very high' on Saturday and 'medium' on Sunday (June 26).
In the warning they add that "grass and nettle pollen risk will rise substantially during warm, dry weather" lasting all week with the spores said to be "Cladosporium in warm, dry weather."
Talking all things pollen experts at the Met Office explain: "Depending on the time of year, the type of pollen in the air will be different. There are around 30 different types of pollen that cause hay fever and it is possible to be allergic to more than one type. Most people are allergic to grass pollen, which is common in late spring and early summer. Tree pollen tends to be released during spring and affects around 25% of people. Weed pollen can be released at any time from the early spring to the late autumn.
"Hay fever symptoms usually appear when the pollen count, which is a measure of the number of grains of pollen in one cubic metre of air, exceeds 50. The weather conditions affect how much pollen is released and spread around. On humid and windy days, pollen spreads easily but on rainy days, pollen can be cleared from the air. On sunny days, the pollen count is highest in the early evening and that's when you are most likely to suffer from hay fever symptoms."
So with the pollen count high, what is the weather looking like for the week ahead?
