Remaining dry with plenty of warm sunshine on Wednesday and Thursday, and turning warmer. It may be cooler on Friday with showery rain possible, though no heavy downpours are expected.
BBC forecaster Chris Fawkes, said: "For those of you wondering if the hot sunny spell last week was our summer, don't worry, this week's looking pretty warm as well. We're gonna draw in milder winds dragging in air that has originated from North America - that milder air will be pushing in behind a warm front. It's gonna feel warm in that sunshine."
He added that Wednesday may bring highs of up to 28C across England and Wales, Mr Fawkes said: "In the north and west where it does stay a little bit cloudier, temperatures generally more into the high teens."
