Britain is preparing for a scorching Bank Holiday Monday as temperatures continue to increase across the country.
England and Wales is set to be swathed in more sunshine today but tomorrow could be the hottest day of the year so far.Weather experts have predicted highs of at least 23C, which is likely to beat temperatures in sunny European destinations including France and Italy.
If it climbs any higher, it will beat the April 25 record of 23C.
Meanwhile, temperatures today will gradually hit 19C in England and Wales with cloudy and showery intervals.
The best of the weather is expected to be in East Anglia and central England.
But Scotland and Northern Ireland are not enjoying the same warm days as England and Wales this weekend, with temperatures expected to linger around 16C today and Monday.
Sky weather presenter Isobel Lang said: "The early spring Bank Holiday can be rather cool and mixed, as we have seen in recent years.
