Temperatures in Colchester expected to reach above 20C next week
Sunshine and warm weather is on the way next week, with temperatures expected to reach over 20 degrees in Colchester.
The good weather will begin on Sunday, April 27, with temperatures expected to reach 20C, but temperatures are predicted to increase as the week goes on.
So how hot will temperatures reach next week?
Monday, April 28 - 21C
Tuesday, April 29 - 22C
Wednesday, April 30 - 25C
Thursday, May 1 - 25C
It is possible that top temperatures could reach 23C or 24C, but the nights will still be cold at about 4C-7C.
A 'large chunk' of England could be enjoying these temperatures which would be 'very warm for the time of year', according to Met Office meteorologist Simon Partridge.
He said: 'The average temperature for this time of year is about 13C to 14C, so for a lot of central and south-eastern England on Monday and Tuesday, there is quite possibly the chance that we will see temperatures around the low to mid 20s in the early part of the week.
'Certainly on Monday and Tuesday, the potential 23C is pretty high with a with a small chance of seeing 24C – but even 23C for parts of the Midlands would put them 10C above average for the time of year.
'There's a pretty good chance of seeing that early next week, which is obviously very warm for the time of year.
'Obviously, 23C is not record breaking in terms of absolute temperatures, but for the end of April, that is well above average.'
It looks like Sunday's London Marathon runners will have to endure temperatures of 21C to 22C as they try to complete the 26.2 mile course.

Thunderstorms set to hit UK with plume of warm air from France
Warm weather is on the way but there may also be thunderstorms in parts of the UK, forecasters have said. The Met Office said: 'The weather for the week ahead will remain mixed but temperatures are on the rise.' Meteorologist Craig Snell said it will be 'pretty changeable' over the next few days then temperatures are set to climb, thunderstorms may be on the way and there will 'probably be a very different feeling to things as we go through the second half of the week'. He added the Met Office is 'keeping an eye on the risk of some thunderstorms developing'. The new working week will begin with sunshine and showers on Monday, mainly in the north, with plenty of dry weather in the south. After a cool feeling weekend for some of us, things are set to change as we move into the week ahead.A change in wind direction by mid-week will likely bring some very warm and humid weather our way 🌡️This may come with the risk of some heavy and thundery showers though 🌩️ — Met Office (@metoffice) June 8, 2025 Top temperatures of around 22C or 23C are expected in the south on Tuesday but it will come with 'a fair bit of cloud and maybe some spots of rain' and sunny conditions will then spread across most areas. Mr Snell added 'Wednesday probably looks like the best day of the week if you are looking for dry and sunny weather' as temperatures may climb to 25C to 26C. A plume of warm air from Iberia and France is set to kick in, bringing the chance of thunderstorms. Mr Snell said: 'After Wednesday, we start to draw up some very warm and humid air from Iberia and France, and that will make it quite humid across much of the UK and that humidity will potentially spark off some thunderstorms. 'From late Wednesday and especially into Thursday, we start to see the risk of some thunderstorms around and that will continue as we go through Thursday and Friday and potentially into Saturday as well.' He added: 'By the time we get to midweek, it will feel very different out there, with quite humid night times also becoming a good deal warmer than what we have been experiencing over the last couple of nights, so probably borderline uncomfortable for some people by day.' It is set to feel increasingly humid on Thursday with a risk of some heavy and thundery showers developing, the Met Office said. Top temperatures could reach 27C to 29C on Friday but 'that will come with a fair bit of humidity', the forecaster added.

The Met Office has advised that this period could see "quite unsettled" but also "widely warm or very warm" temperatures, particularly in the south and east of England.

"Some showers and thunderstorms are likely to affect most parts but there will also be some sunshine. "Over the weekend and into the start of the following week, most parts will become drier. "However, there may be another brief spell of rain with a risk of some thunderstorms, before high pressure more firmly builds in from the west. "The rest of the following week looks like being mainly dry with variable cloud and some sunshine and often warm or very warm. "The far north may be largely cloudy with a threat of some more rain at times though."

Date when UK temperatures could rise up to 32C as heat maps turn red
Weather modelling suggests that the UK could be in for a heatwave over the next month as temperatures could soar. Both the Met Office and BBC weather forecasters are saying there are strong indications of high temperatures across the UK. And, according to GFS weather model maps, temperatures are set to rise from June 20 when they could hit 30C in northern parts of the country and 31C in the south.

Join the Manchester Evening News WhatsApp group HERE June 22 is also predicted to be hot, as temperatures remain in the thirties on the south coast, and temperature anomaly maps show this is expected to be above the seasonal average. Met Office forecasts for the end of June also indicate that we can expect "above average" temperatures. The forecast for June 21 to July 5 states: "Mid-June will probably see a good deal of dry weather across the UK due to the influence of high pressure, especially in the south, although some thundery outbreaks are still possible. "Toward the end of June and start of July, details are uncertain but conditions may become more changeable with some periods of unsettled weather. "Above average temperatures are more likely than below with some hot spells possible." BBC Weather's forecast for June 23 to July 6 mentions the possibility of "warmer than usual" conditions. It states: "With low pressure likely to be lingering somewhere between Iceland and Greenland or extending at times towards parts of Scandinavia, Scotland and Northern Ireland continue to be prone to slightly wetter, windier conditions towards the end of June and into July. However, most of the UK should experience drier and calmer weather. In addition, it could remain warmer than usual. "Therefore, there are currently few signs of a prolonged cool spell. Nevertheless, short-term fluctuations in general weather conditions are always possible. Long-term weather models continue to predict temperatures generally near the seasonal average." Netweather's June 23 to July 1 forecast states: "The overall signal for this period reduces, but there is a fair chance that high pressure will continue to move out to the west, allowing the weather to turn cooler and wetter with lower pressure and north-westerly winds late in the period, but probably with plenty of dry sunny weather early in the period, especially in the west. "Overall, this period is likely to come out warmer than average due to warmth early in the period, but not as notably so as during Week 3 - most likely just around 1C warmer than average, maybe as much as 2C above average in some regions. Sunshine and rainfall totals are uncertain but it will probably be drier and sunnier than average for most, especially in the west and south-west."
