After a dreary Monday with spells of rain and mild temperatures, Tuesday will see temperatures shoot up with Britain set to match parts of Spain.
It comes as a 600-mile 'subtropical swell' of warmer air sweeps in across the Atlantic.
Met Office meteorologist Greg Dewhurst told The Sun Online: "It's likely to be a generally north-west to southeast split through Monday.
It comes as August saw largely miserable weather, with a band of rain sweeping across much of the UK yesterday and forecasts not set to improve for the rest of the week.
But this could all change, as Bookie Coral makes it evens for this month to be the hottest September on record in the UK ahead of next week's heatwave.
“Summer is going to return next week and with one last heatwave, our betting suggests this month could end as the hottest September on record,” said Coral's John Hill.
