At long last, the sun finally set to beat down on the UK, with temperatures set to soar this month. From the week starting June 10, the mercury is expected to hit heights not so far seen in 2024.

That day will see temperatures soaring to as high as 25C in London at around 6pm, according to the latest weather maps from Netweather.

The north-west of England could see 23C, while the Midlands will be north of 20C but cooler than London and Manchester.

Meanwhile, Wales and Scotland are likely to be in the low 20s, the south-west of England in the high teens along with Northern Ireland.

British Weather Services' Jim Dale told Express.co.uk that it will be "certainly warm" for the second full week of June and "maybe very warm - especially in the south".

June 11 is when the temperature ratchets up again. From Cornwall to Scotland, Netweather predicts temperatures between 21C and 24C.

The only cool spots may be in the north-east of Scotland, but even then temperatures will be in the high teens.

England in particular will be bathed in sunshine, the top temperature likely to be found in London - a possible high of 28C.

However, Mr Dale warned that such shot weather could come with "thundery breakdowns to follow".

Most areas dry with long clear spells where it will feel chilly with the odd mist and fog patch by dawn. Cloudier in the far northwest with patchy light rain.

Mist and fog clearing quickly to leave plenty of sunny spells. Becoming cloudier for the north and more rain and drizzle on western slopes in Scotland. Feeling warm in sunshine.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

A front moves southwards across the UK through Monday and Tuesday bringing some heavy showers to the north at times. Temperatures will start to fall in the coming days.
