The record for the hottest day of the year is set to be topped several times this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Parts of the UK could enjoy highs of 22C on Tuesday, forecasters said.<\/p>\n

They could keep rising to as high as 24C on Wednesday in South East England, before the weather cools off towards the end of the week.<\/p>\n

It is just one degree shy of the hottest ever recorded temperature in early April, when the mercury rose to 25C in 2011 and 2020.<\/p>\n

The spike could see the warmest temperature of the year so far set three times this week.<\/p>\n

It comes in the wake of Storm Dave<\/a>,<\/strong> which caused widespread damage and disruption over the Easter weekend as 70mph winds battered parts of northern England, Scotland and Wales.<\/p>\n

A Met Office spokesperson said: “As Storm Dave has now moved away, and this high pressure is building behind it, we’re now dragging up warmer air from the continent.<\/p>\n

“It’s one of the seasons where it can change really quickly, day on day.”<\/p>\n

The warm weather is not set to last for long – with a big drop to as low as 10C by Thursday.<\/p>\n

“It’s all purely down to wind direction at this time of year,” the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

“For the next couple of days, we’re dragging in that warm, southerly wind, which will allow us to see temperatures reach the mid-20s.<\/p>\n

“As we go into Thursday, we’ll see temperatures return to normal for the time of year as we see the weather turn more changeable with advances of rain and showers.”<\/p>\n

Temperatures will stay around 10C in the north and 14C in the south over the weekend.<\/p>\n

This week’s warmer conditions have arrived earlier than expected, the Met Office said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
