Parts of Wales are set to be among the hottest places in the UK this week with days of sunshine forecast.
As the lockdown continues, the country is set to see days of warm weather with temperatures reaching 28C in places.
It comes after a hot Bank Holiday Monday where large parts of the country saw blue skies and the mercury rise.
Now forecasters are expecting another sizzling week ahead with the temperatures staying in the mid-to-high 20s for days.
The Met Office said the night will start off cloudy in the south-east on Tuesday, May 26, with the clearest spells across coastal areas. Through the night, skies will clear from the north. Minimum temperature of 9C.
Most will see a sunny start on Wednesday, May 27 but some in the south will wake to cloudy skies.
The skies will clear through the day bringing long spells of sunshine with a maximum temperature of 20C.
Thursday, May 28 to Saturday, May 30 will see the dry and sunny weather continue, with some occasional hazy spells.
As the week goes on forecasters say it'll become warmer but breezier.
A Met Office spokeswoman said: "The whole country will see high temperatures this week, but the peak of the heat is transferring through the week. Today and tomorrow the South East of England will probably see the highest temperatures with 26/27C."
On Thursday, the South West, west and north Wales and the Manchester areas will see the highest temperatures (24-26C), while on Friday North Wales, northern Scotland and Manchester will reach highs of between 25 and 27C.
On Saturday and Sunday, North Wales, northern Scotland and the North West of England could see thermometers peak at 28C.
Despite the high temperatures, people in Wales gave the beach a wide berth on the sunny Bank Holiday while those in England flocked to the coast to enjoy the sea and sand.
Temperatures in Wales soared above 22C and it was an equally impressive story on the other side of the Severn Bridge.
But with coronavirus lockdown measures in Wales kept more or less the same, beaches were comparatively empty with a handful of people walking here and there.
While thousands would have flocked to enjoy the sun in Barry Island, there was hardly anyone in sight while the same could be said of Aberavon beach with just a small number of joggers running along the seafront.
