Brits to bask in 21C weather next week as Met Office heralds change | Weather | News

Brits are in for a treat as spring brings its charm, with temperatures envisaged to surpass the 20C mark. A swath of high pressure is to traverse the nation from east to west, nudging temperatures to climb steeply. Weather experts reveal the warmest spots – ironically those that endured some of the nippiest winters.

Come April 4, Aberdeenshire is forecasted to be a delightful 21C while Northern England regions like Merseyside and most parts of Scotland, including West Lothian, are predicted to experience 20C on the very same day. Although southern England promises to be balmy and arid, it’s the north, defying typical jet stream patterns, that will revel in the warmth this time around.

Manchester might witness 18C, Geordies could luxuriate in 17C, and even secluded nooks in the Lake District may rejoice in 16C. According to climatic projections, April 4, along with the subsequent week, should remain parched nationwide, reports The Mirror.

Met Office weather sage Alex Burkill concurs, stating in a YouTube broadcast on the agency’s channel: “I think we are in pretty good agreement along with all the models that we are going to see a transition to more settled weather as we go through the first week of April… We are in pretty good agreement there is more settled weather on the way as we go through next week.”

The forecaster refrained from mentioning exact figures in the footage, but Ventusky’s experts have scrutinised weather patterns, predicting highs of 21C and 20C for next week. The meteorologists there forecast above-average warmth for most of the week, with temperatures peaking on the following Friday.

“There are strong signs for more settled weather to develop… We are going to see our weather settling down quite nicely. Most of the models in good agreement we are going to see this weather pushing in,” Mr Burkill remarks in the video.

This notable shift heralds the belated arrival of spring, weeks after the season’s official commencement, succeeding an erratic beginning to March. Earlier this month, temperatures lingered below the norm across much of Britain.

Despite some regions of the UK today basking in warmth surpassing that of Greece, a cold and damp weekend lies ahead before a new wave of high pressure takes hold. Friday is set to be particularly prone to showers, with the most intense downpours—occasionally thunderous—expected over Wales and parts of the Midlands.
