A weather girl who stripped down to a skimpy bikini to present the weather has won herself a legion of fans.
Lusmairyn Figuera has become something of a celebrity in Venezuela, where she presets the forecast for the Canal 24 channel.
Many of her admirers reportedly arrange their days so as not to miss the brunette's daily show.
And she recently sent viewing figures through the roof when she told viewers how the day's weather was shaping up while wearing a tiny flowery bikini and high heels.
Miss Figuera, who likes to play up to her popularity, previously read the weather while wearing her gym kit.
She has also performed exercises and even danced for her fans in the middle of previous forecasts.
Her looks - and willingness to appear on television scantily-clad - have attracted an army of more than 60,000 fans on social media.
Miss Figuera is one of a number of weathergirls in Latin America to find fame for their looks, rather than the accuracy of their meteorology, such as Yanet Garcia in Mexico and Sol Perez in Argentina.
Meanwhile, back in the UK forecasters are predicting five days of hot weather. Temperatures are set to reach 24c, meaning it will be hotter than Barcelona.
The Met Office predicted dry skies and sunshine for most, with today's 20C climbing to 22C on Saturday and up to 24C on Sunday.
Highs nudging the mid-20s were forecast by MeteoGroup.
The South-East will be the hottest, it is predicted. But even the North is due to reach 20C.
Britain will be hotter than 22C Barcelona and is set for the UK’s hottest temperature of September, beating the 23.8C at Wellesbourne, Warwickshire, on September 4, Met Office records passed to Reading University meteorology expert Dr Roger Brugge showed.
Monday is due 22C, with Tuesday set for 20C – still above average.
Only the West faces any real rain, tomorrow and on Sunday.
Met Office forecaster Emma Sharples said: “An Indian Summer is normally well into October, but a continental airflow means it will feel more pleasant this weekend after a lot of autumnal showery weather so far in September.
We will recover from lower temperatures of late, with Friday looking like 20C, Saturday at 22C and Sunday at 23C to 24C in the East and South-East.
“Most parts will have a lot of dry and bright weather, with up to 22C following on Monday and 20C on Tuesday.
“Sunday see some rain in the west of the UK, fading into Monday.”
