The UK is expected to enjoy warmer weather this week – and today could be the hottest day of the year so far.
Temperatures in parts of the southeast could reach 29 ° C (84.2 ° F).
The previous hottest day of the year was June 2, when temperatures reached 28.3 ° C (82.9 ° F) in Northolt, north-west London.
Met Office meteorologist Annie Shuttleworth said: “We expect 29C to be the maximum.
“If we see this 29C, it would be the hottest day of the year so far and it would be in the southeast.
“It will be another hot day and it could be just a degree warmer.”
There will be a north-south divide with “very strong sunshine” in parts of England and Wales, but further north it will be cooler with stronger winds, she said.
The Met Office predicted Sunday the hottest day of the year but temperatures barely fell, reaching 28 ° C at Heathrow and St James’s Park in London.
