Temperatures could reach 20C in parts of Cambridgeshire this week, the Met Office has said. 

It comes after a cold spell over the last week and torrential rain which hit the district towards the end of September, causing significant flooding. 

Parts of the county could see a 10C increase in temperatures on Wednesday as a short period of warmer weather is forecast for the middle of this week. 

Met Office meteorologist Tom Morgan said: "Temperatures are going to rise gradually, peaking probably on Wednesday in eastern areas, and we might well see in some spots 20C, and 22C is not out of question, probably in eastern England – so East Anglia down towards the south east.

“But it will be much milder compared to now for everyone. It’s possible we could exceed 20C in London but the peak temperatures might well be up towards the Home Counties and up to Cambridgeshire.

"There's going to be a stark contrast in temperatures between today and Wednesday.

He added: "Some places will be 10C warmer because today is a very chilly day for early October, so the main theme for this week that it's turning much milder for all."
