Despite the gradual lifting of Covid-19 restrictions, bosses at The Great British Bake Off are said to be taking no chances ahead of shooting the new 12th series.
And the spring-like spell looks set to last for much of next week.
Experts said parts of Britain could see highs of 62F today and tomorrow, though the warmest conditions will be in the South.
The Met Office said that while the West will initially see some heavy rain today, all areas will get some pleasant broken clouds and sunshine by tomorrow.
Chris Fawkes, of BBC Weather, said: “We’re starting to draw up more of a southerly flow of wind and that will start to drag up some of the warmer air from North Africa and Spain, which will push across westerly Europe and in across parts of the United Kingdom.
