If last week's disappointing temperatures had you reaching for the thermostat then worry not.

Summer is set to make a return this week with lots of sunshine and dry weather on the way.

The start of the new working week will be cloudy but things are set to turn bright and warm.

According to the Met Office it will be settled with temperatures between 17C and 19C between Tuesday and Saturday.

UV levels are set to be high on Wednesday with a maximum of eight.

The BBC agrees with this forecast. 

Weather.com says it will be warmer with temperatures of 20C and 21C before it reaches 23C on Saturday and 22C on Sunday with just a 10% chance of rain all week.

Metcheck says also says it will be sunny all week with highs of 23C or 24C by the weekend.

Our forecast says it will be sunny and warm with long spells of sunshine, particularly on Wednesday and highs of 21C by the weekend. 

Looking ahead the Met Office says: "Friday is expected to stay very warm and sunny in the south and east.

"The whole of England and Wales will probably stay dry, though North Wales and north-west England will not be quite as warm.

"In western Scotland and Northern Ireland, it will be windy and cooler, with frequent showers.

"As we head into next weekend, dry and warm conditions are likely to continue in the south including a good deal of sunshine but further north, rain, cloud and strong winds are more likely.

"The following week will probably remain settled for most of us at first, but there are signs of more cloud, rain and showers later in the week, though it will probably stay fairly warm."
