Netweather forecasts expect the period between Thursday, May 6 to Wednesday, May 12 to be more settled and warm.

They did warn thundery outbreaks were possible.

Netweather said: “A finer, warmer perhaps very warm interval may occur, mostly over England and Wales.

“A thundery breakdown is possible, before temperatures return to normal with showers, particularly in the North West.

“A milder or warmer period, but somewhat unsettled.”

A temperature anomaly chart by WXCharts shows England and Wales turn a deep red on May 9.

This indicates temperatures far higher than normally expected at this time of year.

The chart shows that most of England and Wales will be between 4C and 6C hotter than normal.

But some parts of the north-east will be 8C hotter than average.
