On Easter Sunday, temperatures reached 19C for some, while in south-east England mercury rose to as high as 23C – the hottest day of the year so far.

In Wales, some could see a low of just 3C.
As we get further into the week, there will be more “cooler and more unsettled” weather in most parts, according to the Met Office.
While some sunshine is expected in the southeast, some parts will see showers and cloud cover for most of the day.
