A heatwave could hit the UK from mid-May - with temperatures reaching 23C in the south, according to the Met Office.
It's set to become"very warm" and there is a small chance of temperatures peaking in the mid-20s later this month, said senior operational meteorologist Marco Petagna. A heatwave is defined as three consecutive days or more of a certain temperature threshold being reached or exceeded, said the forecaster.
It comes after an April during which average maximum temperatures were generally above normal and the UK had around a third less rain than normal, according to a Met Office blog.
