UK set for 21C scorcher with 13 regions outshining Greece next week

Weather maps from WXCharts, using MetDesk data, indicate that much of the UK will experience temperatures of 20C or higher on Wednesday, April 29, with the Midlands expected to be the hottest area, potentially reaching 22C. The south of England, including Sussex and Surrey, may see highs of 21C, while London is forecast to be slightly cooler.

According to the maps, 13 regions across England and Wales will be warmer than Greece, where many parts are only expected to reach 19C. Gwent in Wales is also predicted to feel the warmth, with temperatures exceeding those in the Mediterranean country. In contrast, northern areas like Greater Manchester will be slightly cooler, with highs around 19C.

The Met Office forecasts that the period will be largely dry with sunny periods, as high pressure is expected to be centred near or across the UK. However, colder air may try to push into the northeast toward next weekend, bringing a brief showery interlude, possibly with some wintry conditions. Winds will be mostly light, with temperatures near normal or slightly above for most of the country.
