Speaking to the Express, BBC Weather's Stav Danaos said: "It's been the warmest day of the year so far we've seen top temperatures of 21C in both Wales and England."The next few days it's going to stay warm and dry and there will still be that very outside chance of an isolated shower but most places will remain dry."Our weather will be influenced by a high pressure sitting to the east of us which is why we're drawing up this warm air from the south and southeast."Forecasters have been busy predicting how hot each day will be this week, on an hour-by-hour basis, thus revealing the exact times that the mercury may top Tuesday's readings.
