Advanced weather modelling maps show exactly when the current hot spell will come to an end, with a chilly plunge in temperatures expected later this week.
Millions of Brits experienced unseasonably warm temperatures this weekend and on Monday (October 9) due to warm air moving over the country from the continent.
Monday actually marked the peak of the balmy conditions with the highest temperature recorded at 26.1C in East Malling, Kent. It is the first time since 2011 that we have had three consecutive days in October where temperatures have exceeded 25C.

Weather maps from WX Charts show the warmth should continue on Tuesday (October 10) with the south-east expected to hit 24C and other parts of England between 20C and 23C. Temperatures will start to cool on Wednesday (October 11) before the maps indicate a huge drop off on Thursday (October 12).
Temperatures will peak at just 13C in the south and Wales on Thursday around midday. The rest of England and Northern Ireland will get 11C at most, and in some parts of Scotland the mercury could drop as low as 6C.
Despite a slight warming on Friday (October 13) when temperatures could return to 20C in the south, Saturday (October 14) and Sunday (October 15) are expected to bring almost identical conditions to Thursday, according to WX Charts.
The Met Office says: "Heavy rain is expected to arrive into the south-west early on Friday, later spreading north-eastwards into central parts of the UK. Further north, a mixture of showers and sunny spells are likely, with the potential for strong blustery winds in places. Over the weekend, a general showery theme is expected to become more prevalent, with the best of any dry conditions likely to be in the south-west."
Sadly, it appears as if the recent hot spell might well be our last for some time.
