Britain is set for a dramatic weather U-turn as new forecasts predict a glorious surge of 20°C heat is just days away. Detailed meteorological maps have pinpointed the exact dates the nation will finally swap its brollies for sunscreen.
The shift will bring a welcome respite from the recent spate of wind and rain, offering a tantalising taste of early summer. According to the latest data, the mercury is poised to climb significantly, with the best of the warmth expected to arrive around Friday, May 10th, and hold through the weekend.
When and Where to Soak Up the Sun
Weather maps from WXCharts, using Met Desk data, show a large plume of warm air sweeping across the country. The south of England is forecast to be the hotspot, with temperatures potentially reaching a balmy 20°C. The warmth is expected to spread northwards, ensuring much of the UK gets a slice of the sunshine.
The change is driven by high pressure building from the east, which will push away the unsettled conditions that have dominated April. This will result in prolonged periods of dry, sunny, and increasingly warm weather, a stark contrast to the below-average temperatures experienced lately.
A Welcome Respite After a Chilly Spell
This predicted heat surge is particularly significant as it follows a period of unseasonably cold weather. Many Brits have endured a rain-soaked spring, making this upcoming sunny spell all the more anticipated.
While the north might see a few scattered showers initially, the overall trend is firmly towards drier and brighter conditions. Meteorologists suggest this could be the start of a more settled and warmer pattern for May.
As always, it's advisable to check the latest Met Office forecast for your local area as the dates approach for the most accurate outlook.
