TEMPERATURES are set to stay high this week. 

Forecasters are predicting temperatures of 18-19 degrees this week, after a very sunny weekend. 

And the mild weather has seen bookies slash their odds on a hot Easter weekend too. 

William Hill has slashed the odds of 2017 being the hottest Easter ever, to 8-1. 

The current record of almost 29 degrees was set in 2011. 

This week is set to be warm- but not quite that warm. 

Temperatures will reach 17 degrees on Thursday with sunshine and cloud. 

Friday could see some showers- though it will remain warm. 

Unfortunately, the weekend isn't looking quite as bright. Temperatures will reach a maximum of 13 degrees, with showers expected on Saturday.
