Locked down Britain will yet again bake in sizzling 23C heat this week before a cool front sends temperatures tumbling into the weekend.
The sweltering mini heatwave of last week looks set to make a return to send the mercury soaring into the mid-20s by Thursday.
BBC Weather forecasts temperatures in London to leap from 18C today to 20C on Wednesday, 23C on Thursday and 22C on Friday. Manchester also sets to bask in 20C by mid-week as more high pressure grips the nation along with sunshine and blue skies.
But the heat will be short lived this time as a cool front looks set to sweep in from the Atlantic to send temperatures the other way.
