Moving further into the rest of the week, Friday will be 22C and both Saturday and Sunday will be 23C.

Away from warm temperatures, there will also be very little rain and wind, according to the Met Office, as much of the week has a chance of precipitation below 5%.

The skies will be a mix of sunshine and cloud with Saturday starting sunny and cloud-free before some clouds appear but the sun will still be out.

The Met Office shares that on Wednesday the East of England can expect: "A fine and dry night with long clear spells for most but some low cloud tentatively moving in Suffolk and Essex. A chance of fog in Oxfordshire around dawn. Minimum temperature 8C."

Elsewhere towards the weekend, the forecaster adds: "A good deal of fine and dry weather, with variable cloud and sunny spells throughout.

"Some mist and fog patches each morning. Warm away from the coast."
