Additionally, Tuesday night is expected to be tropical in the south with temperatures remaining above 20 in some areas.
While Northern Ireland and Scotland may experience rain on Monday, England and Wales are forecasted to stay dry with clear spells, resulting in a warmer night compared to the previous one. Tomorrow, destinations like Barcelona and Santorini will see cooler temperatures than parts of southern England, with peaks of 30C and 26C, respectively.
