Weather watchdog, the Met Office, has said that the high temperatures in the West Midlands are set to continue despite sporadic heavy rain and 'haze'.
The update comes as Walsall, Dudley, Sandwell and Wolverhampton continue to experience high temperatures of around 20C, with the group saying that the weather will be fine and settled, but with rain and wind overnight.
Today, maximum temperatures are expected to reach 21C before turning slightly colder and hazy on the night as strong winds and heavy rain hit the region.
Tuesday will see a cloudy start with a maximum temperature of 19C. Blustery showers will break up the sunshine in some areas before getting cooler and turning more windy in the afternoon.
The week ahead will see changeable weather for the region, with 'clear winds' going eastwards during the mornings, before turning brighter, with an average temperature of 19C for the week.
Met Office Meteorologist, Kathryn Chalk, said: "It will be a case of sunny spells and frequent blustery showers moving throughout, some showers could be heavy, perhaps with the odd rumble of thunder and some hail, and even some snow over the highest mountains in Scotland.
"So, it's feeling cool here, but in any sunshine and in sheltered spots we will see temperatures climbing from 18C to 21C."
