The weather is set to get warmer as this week goes on, making it hotter than Greece and Majorca in some places. It's set to continue into the Easter weekend.
Good Morning Britain forecaster Laura Tobin said that it will get warmer from Wednesday, with Thursday set to beat the continental holiday hotspots.
London and swathes of the south will see the mercury nearing 20C on Thursday, while it will be around 16C in Ibiza and Majorca, while Greece sees highs of 17C in Chios and Thessaloniki, Kavala and Limnos, reports Walesonline.

The Met Office forecast for this period reads: "Increasingly warm. Sunny spells Wednesday interspersed with cloudier periods and scattered showers. Thursday and Friday largely dry and bright. Morning mist and fog patches likely, slower to clear around coasts."
The forecasts have sparked bookmaker Ladbrokes to slash the odds to 5-2 on a record hot Easter. Spokesman Alex Apati said: "At last it looks as though Brits will have something to smile about on the weather front, with a record-breaking Easter scorcher potentially on the cards."
Meanwhile, motorists have been warned that this weekend's Easter getaway will be the busiest on the UK's roads in at least eight years. An estimated 21.5 million leisure trips will be made by car between Good Friday and Easter Monday, the RAC said.
That is the most since the organisation began tracking motorists' Easter plans in 2014. The busiest single day on the roads over the bank holiday weekend is expected to be Good Friday.
Drivers wanting to avoid as much congestion as possible are urged to set off before 9am or delay their journeys until after 7.30pm.
