A new BBC forecast shows seven days of non-stop sunshine for the end of August and the start of September.
The sunny conditions will hit the country on August 27 and continue to remain until September 2, the maps show.
Maps and charts from WX Charts, projected using Met Desk data, show similar predictions.

The Met Office forecast for August 28 to September 6 explains: "Initially dry and very warm across central and eastern areas, perhaps hot for a time, while cloudier with some patchy rain in western parts.
Later in the week, a trend towards less-hot conditions is likely as a more pronounced westerly flow becomes established, although exactly how long it remains very warm or hot in the east is uncertain.
What the Met Office says:
"Meanwhile, further rain or showers are likely at times in the northwest. Towards the weekend and into early September, high pressure may become more dominant, leading to more widespread and longer duration settled conditions, although possibly still some rain at times in the far northwest.
"Temperatures will likely trend above average during this time, with the small chance of a few thunderstorms."

The outlook for September 7 onwards adds: "Early September will likely offer a good deal of dry and settled weather across the UK, with high pressure generally dominating. Some rain is possible at times, but for many areas conditions will probably be drier than average.
"By the second week of September confidence for this settled weather continuing decreases. Instead, it is more likely that there will be a return to a mixture of weather types, with spells of wet weather interspersed with drier periods.
"After a possibly warm start to September, temperatures will gradually revert to being cooler in the northwest, and return to nearer average in the southeast."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
