British weather is set for a dramatic twist as more hot weather will then be followed by rainfall and the possibility of storms, according to forecasters.
After a gloriously sunny Spring Bank Holiday, Tuesday was named the hottest day of the year so far as the mercury hit 25C in some parts of the country.
And while Brits can expect a few more days of warm temperatures, the Met Office has warned the current spell will only be temporary as wetter weather could be on the way.
Blue skies could soon turn grey, forecaster Greg Dewhurst said, while weather could become humid with the possibility of a downpour.
Meteorologist Mr Dewhurst told The Mirror this week will remain warm and dry, depending on where you are in the UK.
"Very little is changing over the rest of the week," he said.
"We've got high pressure to the North West bringing settled weather and light winds, but around the South East particularly expect it to be a bit more breezy.
"That pressure isn't going anywhere just yet so we'll continue to see the best of the sunshine this week. The temperatures may not be quite as high (as recent days), maybe coming down to 22C max.
"Across the East it'll be much cooler, maybe 12-14C."
The forecaster added: "Gradually we could see temperatures rise next week and an increased risk of heavy showers.
"It might feel more humid through the middle of next week onwards. Potentially some showers could turn heavy, and perhaps even thundery."
Looking ahead as May turns to June, the Met Office predicts: "Staying dry with high pressure remaining dominant.
"Plenty of strong sunshine but some cloud is likely at times, mainly during the mornings.
"Warm days, albeit cool overnight. Breezy at times."
