As we head into a brand new week, the frosty mornings could be left behind - with commuters not expected to deal with colder starts.

By Wednesday, eastern England including the south east, could see temperatures rise to 20C, say the Met Office.

And in London, Cambridgeshire, and other locations down south, conditions are predicted to exceed that - hitting at least 22C.

Met Office meteorologist Tom Morgan said on Sunday: "Temperatures are going to rise gradually, peaking probably on Wednesday in eastern areas, and we might well see in some spots 20C.

"And 22C is not out of question, probably in eastern England - so East Anglia down towards the South East.

"But it will be much milder compared to now for everyone.

"It's possible we could exceed 20C in London but the peak temperatures might well be up towards the home counties and up to Cambridgeshire.

"There's going to be a stark contrast in temperatures between today and Wednesday.

"Some places will be 10C warmer because today is a very chilly day for early October, so the main theme for this week that it's turning much milder for all."

Unfortunately, the last glimpse of a summer won't be around for long.

By the end of the week and looking into next weekend, blistery and wet conditions are predicted to return.

Mr Morgan added that the west and Wales could be "quite wet" midweek with the rest of the country expected to see strong winds and band of heavy rain pushing eastwards on Friday.

He said next weekend is "looking pretty unsettled", with the North West including Scotland and Northern Ireland being wet and windy but possibly less so in the South East.

He added: "So it will be pretty autumnal with temperatures that might be much higher than this weekend, so into mid-teen temperatures."
