However, the warm weather will return on Wednesday (April 29) with sunny spells and highs of 17C.

From here, it will only get hotter with highs of 22C on Friday (May 1).

Steven Keates, deputy chief forecaster at the Met Office, said: "High pressure will remain broadly in charge of the UK's weather for the remainder of this week and into the weekend. “Most places will remain dry with a fair amount of sunshine too.

"As is often the case, there are a few exceptions, with cloudier conditions for some at times and patchy rain possible.”

Into May and more changable conditions are expected.

The Met Office’s long range forecast predicts “longer spells of rain” and “a risk of strong winds”.

Temperatures are likely to be close to or slightly above normal.
