Britain is set to enjoy the hottest day of the year so far, with temperatures expected to soar to 27C (80.6F) this week.
Many parts of the UK will see warm sunshine and clear skies over the next few days as the mercury climbs into the mid-20s.
On Wednesday, the temperature in London and the South East could surpass the 26C (78.8F) recorded in Treknow, Cornwall, on Good Friday.
Some regions will be warmer than some of Europe's top holiday destinations, including Marbella and Ibiza, the Met Office predicts.
The mini heatwave will continue into Friday for some, testing the nation's resolve as people are still being urged to avoid crowded outdoor spaces.
