TEMPERATURES are set to soar this week as a mini heatwave hits the UK.

Tendring’s Sunshine Coast could hit highs of 22°C today.

Experts say we could see the hottest days of the year so far, fuelling speculation of a summer heatwave.

But Met Office bosses warned against looking too far ahead, saying: “Unfortunately, the weather we get in April doesn’t necessarily tell us anything about the kind of summer we can expect.

“We’re still in the midst of spring, so it’s far too early to say what the months of June, July and August may hold.”
