Speaking about the national forecast, he said: ‘It looks likely we’ll at least see our warmest Bank Holiday Monday on record on Monday.

‘23.6C is what we’ve got to beat, and we’re forecasting highs of at least 26C, 27C, possibly 28C, so I think we can safely say that’s going to be beaten.

‘But whether or not we will beat the record for the whole weekend put together, we’ll be close, but at the moment looking at it we may just come short.’
