The warm weather will be concentrated across East Anglia and south-east England on Monday and Tuesday before spreading across the Midlands, east Wales and north England by the weekend.
On Monday we’re likely to reach 26C, by Wednesday the heat becomes much more widespread with highs of 28C and by the weekend the hot spots surge somewhere between 30-33C.
Meanwhile, it will become warmer in Northern Ireland and Scotland later in the week, but it will be more comfortable here with temperatures mostly in the low 20Cs.
By Sunday things become more uncertain and we may see fresher air move in from the Atlantic with a risk of thundery downpours.
However, some models keep the heat for longer especially in East Anglia and south-east England with temperatures continuing to stay above the 30C mark.
