London is set for a “mini heatwave” with temperatures set to soar back up to 26C next week.
The capital will see sunny spells and average temperatures of between 24C and 26C from Wednesday to Friday next week, according to BBC Weather.
It comes as the Met Office issued yellow weather warnings for rain and wind in other regions of the UK.
Up to 6 inches of rain and strong winds of up to 60mph could affect some areas over a 24-hour period, with flooding, dangerous coastal conditions and power cuts possible, the Met Office said.
The yellow warning for rain covers the western half of Scotland, south-west Scotland and Strathclyde, and will be in place until 8am on Thursday.
Met Office spokesman Stephen Dixon said: “Through today and into tomorrow, we have got some potentially impactful weather for parts of the west of Scotland and north-west England, with some winds and rain being the main hazards that we’re keeping an eye on.”
Separate yellow warnings for wind covering northern Wales and northern England, including both Cumbria and Northumberland, have been issued from 1am to 9am on Thursday.
Conditions will remain cloudy and dry in the capital in the coming days, with light rain showers on Friday and Saturday.
Temperatures will remain mild, with highs of 23C on Friday afternoon.
Sunday will be largely dry and bright, according to the Met Office.
Lighter rain is also expected to fall in Northern Ireland throughout Wednesday, while largely dry conditions will cover southern and central areas of England with spells of hazy sunshine, the forecaster said.
