Grahame Madge from the Met Office said: "There is a front that will be straddling the UK and temperatures to the south-east of that front will be much warmer.
"The next few days in the South East and the Home Counties are going to be very warm - but it is a different picture a bit further north - that is where the front will have an impact.

"It is a boundary between two weather systems - we have got cooler air to the north and west, and warmer air to the south and east."
He added: "There is still potential for sunshine in a lot of other places - the map for Wednesday shows the cloud across the central belt of the UK, from South Wales to the Humber.
"North of that there are very sunny areas, it is a bright picture, but temperature wise it is going to be the south-east corner that is going to see the higher values over the next few days."
