Britons can look forward to a warm bank holiday weekend as new weather maps indicate temperatures reaching up to 17°C on Saturday, April 4. The forecast from WXCharts, based on MetDesk data, shows the warmest conditions in the south and east of England, with the early evening expected to be the peak time for heat.
London is set to hit 15°C by midday, while northern areas remain cooler. By 6pm, Cambridgeshire could see the mercury climb to 17°C. In the East Midlands, Nottingham and Derby are predicted to reach 16°C, while Manchester in the north will see 14°C and Yorkshire 15°C at the same time.
The warm spell follows a colder snap with drizzly weather expected towards the end of the week. According to the Met Office, “the wettest and windiest weather is more likely towards the west and north of the country,” with a northwest-southeast split likely beyond Easter. Southern and eastern areas should enjoy drier and clearer interludes, with occasional warmer spells possible in the south.
Temperatures are forecast to be close to average overall, but the bank holiday respite offers a welcome break after recent cooler conditions. Scotland and northern England had been expecting a colder weekend, but the south will bask in sunshine on Saturday.
