She mentioned a breeze within the south, significantly English Channel coasts, will have an effect on temperatures in these areas.

Eastern coasts will see temperatures on Sunday of round 15C (59F) or 16C (61F), whereas inland areas shall be hotter, with highs of 18C (64F) to 20C (68F).

The week forward

Beyond Sunday, the nice and cozy and dry circumstances are anticipated to proceed into the week - however do not name it a heatwave.

Stephen Dixon, spokesman for the Met Office, mentioned: "As we move towards next weekend there's a signal for temperatures possibly getting towards the mid-20s. It's not anything we'd call a heatwave, but there's some signals for later next week and into next weekend for higher temperatures, particularly in the south."

The excessive strain behind the hotter climate shall be in place for the "foreseeable future", Mr Dixon added.

Any rain shall be extraordinarily remoted.

Mr Dixon mentioned: "There's a chance of some lighter showers for parts of Northern Ireland and perhaps Scotland for Tuesday and Wednesday, they will be very isolated.

"As we transfer into subsequent weekend, though the temperature is seeking to improve within the south, that does improve the possibility of some remoted showers popping up.

"It is western areas that are looking likely to have the longer sunny periods, parts of Wales as well as the southwest of England, but for the vast majority it will be feeling very pleasant with sunshine.

"It shall be barely hotter than common, however not past what we might usually see."
