John Griffiths of the Meteorological Office said: “Saturday will start well and dry for most. Large swaths will be dry and sunny.

“The cold front will bring clouds and outbreaks of rain and strong winds.

“It will be time to pack the shorts and take out the fleeces. Hopefully people can enjoy the weather sensibly before it takes a cold turn.”

The British already cracked yesterday, headed to the parks and hopped on their bikes for summer sunbathing, as St James’s Park in central London registered 24.3C (75.7F) on Friday.

The British were warned not to break the closing rules during VE Day celebrations and not to bask in the parks over the weekend or to stop the new “modest and small” freedoms.

Boris will reveal his plan to get the UK out of the shutdown tomorrow, with garden centers reopening in between measures.

The Prime Minister will also relax exercise rules to allow for unlimited walks, runs, or cycles.

Meanwhile, police officers complain that they are the “pandemic villains” as they prepare to crack down on Britons who ignore the rules of social estrangement over the long weekend.

One told The Times: “There is some unease and frustration before the weekend.

“We have always said that we need a clear and consistent message from the government to the public, but now there is an opinion that things are relaxing. Many people seem to have decided that everything is over.

“We are being asked to apply the closure and we are going to be painted as villains once more when we apprehend people who enjoy the sun and have VE Day parties with their neighbors.”
