A dry day with some sunshine and it'll feel pleasantly warm.
Watch my full forecast here:
Hundreds of hopping enthusiasts in Sheffield are waiting to find out if they've set a new world record for the number of people playing hopscotch at the same time.
According to Move More, the organisers of the attempt, a total of 664 stone throwers played the game in a city car park yesterday.
The record for most people playing the game at one time currently stands at 621.
Tom Hughes, from Move More, says he's sure they've not just "passed but smashed the record", but he says he's now waiting for official verification.

A garden celebrating Yorkshire's canals and industrial heritage has won a gold medal at the prestigious Chelsea Flower Show.
Image source, Welcome to YorkshireThe garden, by tourism organisation Welcome to Yorkshire and designed by Mark Gregory, features genuine canal lock gates donated by the Canal & River Trust.
It's the 10th time Welcome to Yorkshire has entered a garden at the famous Royal Horticultural Society competition and was described as its "most ambitious to date".
Reacting to the news, Welcome to Yorkshire said it was "amazing news" and that it was "over the moon".
It will be warm, dry and sunny today.
It will remain dry tonight with light winds.
However, there is the chance of mist developing in some areas:
A student from York who was targeted by a so-called "cyberflasher" is urging people to protect themselves by changing their smartphone settings.
Cyberflashing refers to the practice of graphic images being sent to people's phones via features like Bluetooth, and AirDrop on iPhones.
Sophie Meehan says she was walking through a station when a man hidden within the crowds sent an explicit picture of himself through the file-sharing function on her phone.
She says she checked social media afterwards and found hundreds of other women who said they'd also been "cyberflashed".
Two concerts by the singer Ed Sheeran in Leeds this summer could be allowed to have crowds of up to 80,000 people each.
The singer-songwriter, who's originally from West Yorkshire, is set to play two nights at Roundhay Park on 16 and 17 August.
Leeds councillors are expected to vote later on whether to allow bigger crowds at the park, with the capacity limit for live events currently standing at just under 20,000.
If the expansion plan is approved, it could mean a return to the glory days of the 1980s and 1990s, when the park hosted the biggest pop acts of the era.
The Rolling Stones played at the park in 1982 - one of only four British venues on their European tour that year.
In 1987 the park hosted Genesis, six weeks before Madonna played in front of 73,000 fans on the same site.
