The MET office has stated that highs of 23 degrees Celsius are possible today, adding that Britain will see "record" heatwaves this summer.
The Met Office said in today's London forecast: "A bright, dry day and plenty of warm sun and temperatures feeling warm."
The UK is set to encounter a "mini heatwave" next week, with temperatures edging close to 30 degrees Celsius, but before that, Britons can expect rain constraints, especially in the south of England.
A mix of rain and mini heatwave in London
Today, May 13, will have high pressures in the south but low pressures in the north, resulting in windy conditions, as per Express.
Forecasts indicate that northern Scotland will be unusually windy.
The day will become increasingly bright as the day progresses, with temperatures in the south of England reaching the low 20s.
According to the BBC, London will have a high of 21 degrees, while Norwich will have a slightly higher high of 22 degrees.

A warm temperature with a bit of rain this weekend
Windy at first, but lessening over the day. The maximum temperature is 23 degrees Celsius.
According to Met Office forecaster Aidan McGivern, the excellent weather will come Saturday night and Sunday.
Showers or thunderstorms may also move north from the continent, hitting the southern portion of the UK on Saturday night and Sunday, but maybe more extensively afterward.
Around the same time, unless people get some sunshine and plume occurs, surface temps could rise.
Early next week, we could see the low mid-20s fairly widely and high 20s around the South East if we get some sunshine affiliated with this plume, but as they mentioned, it also brings the danger of thundery outbreaks.
As the weekend approaches, Brits can anticipate a 'dry and sunny Saturday' with temperatures of 21 degrees Celsius as a North African plume sweeps in.
The temperature in the UK might reach 24 degrees Celsius on Tuesday and Wednesday next week due to a heatwave.
Meanwhile, in terms of long-term summer weather, Exacta Weather forecaster James Madden stated, "The overall summer forecast is now pointing towards at least four or five big heatwaves."
The Met Office's three-month weather forecast is more cautious, with forecasters expecting that this summer would be "much hotter than typical."
Even though the UK is anticipating a delightfully balmy weekend, hot weather can cause disease and harm.
Brits should stock up on sunscreen to avoid sunburn as temperatures are set to skyrocket.
Sunburn not only causes severe pain and premature wrinkles, but it also increases the risk of skin damage, according to physicians.
In certain situations, sun damage to the skin might lead to skin cancer. SPF creams and sprays have been shown to prevent the skin from serious harm, therefore Brits should apply the protective lotions before the hot weather arrives.
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, wearing SPF decreases the risk of acquiring melanoma by 40%.
Because sunscreen does not protect against all UV rays, you may still acquire a gorgeous glow while caring for your skin.
