The hottest April in six years continues this week giving Brits a mini-heatwave to enjoy in their gardens, while the UK remains on lockdown.
Although Thursday and Friday are set to bring sunshine and warm weather, many of the UK's open spaces will be largely empty due to the coronavirus lockdown.
Parts of the UK will bask in 24C heat over the coming days, with Thursday looking to be the hottest day of the week – hotter than Lanzarote and Corfu.
In Wales and south-west England, temperatures are forecast to reach 23C, with 18C in Scotland and 19C in Northern Ireland. This would be well above the average high of 14C in April for England and the hottest the UK has been this month since 2014, the Met Office said.
