Temperatures are set to soar in London this week - despite unsettled weather bringing a yellow rain warning to other parts of the UK.
Following a warm and sunny bank holiday Monday, temperatures are expected to creep up to 25C in the capital on Tuesday, with Wednesday bringing highs of 28C, says the Met Office.
London is expected to see plenty of sunshine throughout week and temperatures staying in the mid-20s.
But a yellow weather warning is in place for much of south-west Scotland from 3am until 7pm on Tuesday.
Wet and windy weather is expected to spread across parts of Scotland, north-west England and Northern Ireland throughout Monday evening with strong winds in the west.
Heavy rain features in the forecast this week, but also some drier and warmer weather 🌤️

Met Office forecaster Greg Dewhurst said: “It is all change as we head into Tuesday.
“The next area of low pressure moves in from the Atlantic, bringing wet and windy weather across northern and western areas, however high pressure just about holds on across the south-east and also will start to import some warm air.
“Tuesday, a wet start across parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland, northern England. A Met Office warning in force across south-west Scotland for some heavy bursts of rain, some local disruption possible.”
Central England is expected to see the most summer sun, Mr Dewhurst added.
On Tuesday, London could see peaks of 25C with temperatures in the high teens expected further north where rain and strong winds is also likely.
The Met Office said temperatures should be even warmer on Wednesday, with 28C possible in London, 24C in Cardiff, 20C in Edinburgh and 19C in Belfast.
Over the bank holiday weekend, the aftermath of Storm Lilian brought scattered downpours in northern and western areas.
Mr Dewhurst said: “Sunday was quite an unsettled day across the UK – cool and cloudy with outbreaks of rain pushing eastwards and quite windy too.”
