Hottest day of the year on Monday?

During the following two days temperatures continue to climb. Maximums on Sunday could approach 30°C, and on Monday they may go several degrees higher. Computer models are suggesting 33°C is possible, which would make it the hottest day of the year. However, areas of low pressure will be returning, leading to a risk of thundery spells of rain in the north and west. By the middle of the week, a changeable picture is forecast, and temperatures will be a lot closer to the seasonal norm.
