Temperatures for the week will peak at 17C tomorrow, the Met Office says, but will remain sunny and a consistent 16C well into the weekend.
The beginning of the weekend will continue to welcome the bright sun and warm weather with far more clouds predicted to roll in by Friday lunchtime that will remain well until the evening. Temperatures are expected to reach a peak of 16C by mid-afternoon.
The Met Office also predicts that Saturday and Sunday will continue to have nice weather "feeling pleasantly warm by day, but a touch chilly overnight, with a few morning mist patches".
"High pressure will continue to dominate through the majority of this period, bringing dry and settled conditions for most," it added. "Though it is likely to be cloudier across the far north with some rain and drizzle at times. Some localised mist and fog is possible overnight but will retreat to windward coasts by day.
"Daytime temperatures are likely to be above average at first, when it will feel warm in the prolonged spring sunshine, but will decline slowly through the period, with a low chance of significantly colder weather spreading from the north for a time. It could be windy at times in the north, with generally lighter winds for other parts of the United Kingdom."
