“Another hot day for many on Wednesday,” they added.

“Dry and sunny for many, but cloud and scattered showers will move into the southeast in the afternoon. Breezy again around coastal areas.”

From Thursday to Saturday, it is expected to be largely dry overnight although The Met Office say some showers and thunderstorms are possible in Scotland on Thursday.

It’s set to be sunny for many but “clouding over at times” in the north.

Tom Crabtree, The Met Office deputy chief meteorologist, said: "Warmth is the focus in the forecast in the first half of this week, with temperatures likely to peak on Tuesday around the mid-30s, but remaining above average in the second half of the week, particularly further to the southeast.

"The exception to the widely warm conditions will be northwest Scotland on Monday, where showers will be more frequent. Warmth will develop there from Tuesday with temperatures peaking in the mid to high 20s."
