Tuesday is set to be another sunny day with temperatures reaching around 22C.

On Wednesday, sunny spells are expected throughout the day with some possible heavy showers later on.

Speaking of tomorrow's weather, forecaster Marco Petagna told the PA news agency: “It will certainly be the hotter of the two days for many in the UK.

“In terms of if it will be the hottest day of the year, it’ll be close, I expect some areas have a good chance of hitting at least 29C (84.2F) which would make it the warmest.”

He went on to say: “It’s because of a high-pressure jet stream moving in from the south-west, bringing with it sunshine and warm, dry temperatures.”
