Temperatures are set to soar this week making Warrington warmer than Barbados as a mini heatwave hits the town.
By Wednesday, temperatures will reach 29 degrees (84F), hotter then parts of the Mediterranean and even Barbados.
However, heavy showers are also forecast and temperatures are expected to fall before the weekend arrives.
A Met Office spokesman said: "Temperatures are expected to build on Tuesday and into Wednesday, with the hottest day of the year so far expected on successive days this working week."
The heatwave is caused by a warm front and tropical continental air mass from Europe pushing across the country - bringing with it high temperatures and humidity.
