Nicky Maxey, a spokesperson for the Met Office, said: "At the weekend temperatures start to creep up and by Monday and Tuesday we are probably looking at 17C with plenty of sunshine from the start of next week.
"On Saturday there will be plenty of sunshine and Sunday will be a little but more cloudy with temperatures of 12/13C. The weather is certainly looking more settled as we go through next week."
She said the weather going into May and early June would be changeable but there would be more settled spells.
At the moment, it could be as hot as Cape Town next week - here's hoping.
