But Met Office says 'shift' to highs of 25C won't last long

- MATT MATHERS

Finally... summer is here.

A short blast of summer heat is finally coming to the UK this week after a long wait, with balmy temperatures of up to 25C.

June got off to a colder-than-average start but high pressure moving in from North America should cause a "shift" in the weather mid-week. However, forecasters warned the warmer spell is not expected to last "too long".

Met Office meteorologist Dan Harris said: "We are expecting to see a steady uptick through the second half of this week, rising to around or above average, and it will likely feel very warm for those in the sunshine.
