It comes after what has been the hottest weekend of the year so far, with parts of the country baking at 26 degrees Celsius, according to the DailyExpress. Sizzling sunshine was also enjoyed in Coventry and Warwickshire.

The forecast for next week calls for temperatures to be warmest in the Midlands, which includes our region, as well as the North East of England. The map shows that the temperatures are set to stay into next weekend.
