The UK is set to bathe in two weeks of hot, dry sunshine, as a result of high pressure.
The final few days of April and the first two weeks of May are set to see an improvement in the weather compared to the two weeks before that.
The Met Office forecast for April 28 to May 12 reads: "Towards the end of April, high pressure will probably be close to the UK with a good deal of dry weather for many areas.
"Moving into May, these settled conditions will probably move northwards, with the driest weather across the northwest of the UK.
"If any more unsettled conditions develop these are more likely to affect south with a risk of some heavy rain or showers.
"Temperatures will probably be close to average overall, with warm days but some colder nights."
