Brits can expect the sunshine and warm weather to continue this week after the hottest day of the year was recorded at the weekend.
Temperatures soared up to 20C in some parts of the UK on Saturday for the first time since October, the Met Office has confirmed.
Now, forecasters are predicting the sunny spells to continue and temperatures to rise in the week ahead, after a cooler Sunday.
The weather specialists think the mercury is likely to between 15C and 16C on Monday, and Brits should expect highs of 19C on Tuesday, before temperatures hold in most of England at around 17C and 18C for the rest of the week and into the weekend.
The majority of the UK is set to see dry conditions with the increased sunshine, with the exceptions of some localised showers in the Midlands on Monday and the North of England on Tuesday.
The east coast of Scotland could also see some low cloud during the week and temperatures could be cooler in coastal areas due to low sea temperatures and breezes, while the north of the UK is expected to see highs of between 9C and 12C.
Met Office meteorologist Greg Dewhurst said: "This week is going to be very similar. We're going to keep high pressure just to the east of the UK and that means it will be largely dry and settled with plenty of sunny spells.
"There is the odd exception, there could just be an isolated shower across the Midlands on Monday, perhaps northern England on Tuesday, but they're going to be very isolated and most places will be dry and sunny."
Mr Dewhurst added sheltered areas "will continue to be on the pleasant and warm side".
The temperature is expected to remain above average into the weekend but will then drop slightly into the following week.
