With temperatures reaching up to 22 degrees Celsius in the southeast, Friday’s weather will beat the hot March season, according to the Met Office. Richard Miles, a spokesman for the Met Office, said: “Tomorrow will be the hottest day of the year so far, although this is not surprising as it is April. “We will see pleasant spring weather everywhere, but the weather seems to be clearer in the south and east, while on Saturday the central and western regions have slightly higher temperatures. “But nowhere will it be as hot on Saturday as it is on Friday.” However, the Met forecaster advised those seeking the sun to “make the most of the weekend” for Easter activities, as “Monday has warmer temperatures and more humidity”. This Easter scene in Sussex looks set to remain dry (PA) According to the Meteorological Office, Friday will be bright everywhere, except in areas to the north and west, where there may be clouds and explosions of rain and drizzle, which tend to subside later. The warm weather will make a slight dip on Saturday, which will see a mixture of clear and sunny areas with cloudy skies and a little rain. In the beginning there will be a little fog and mist inside and more extensive areas of low cloud and fog around some coasts will make the temperatures slightly in these places, especially in the east. Elsewhere we will feel hot, especially in any sunshine, but maybe a little cooler than Friday. Easter weekend can offer beautiful weather, meteorologists say (PA Wire) It will be similar on Sunday, although overall probably drier than Saturday, with rains being limited mainly to the north and west. However, more persistent rainfall arriving at night from the west will signal a change to erratic, colder weather from Monday. On Monday, the rainstorms move to the east, followed by brighter conditions and rains that will give an overall higher average temperature than the weekend. Parts of the southern and southeastern parts are expected to remain mostly dry with the heaviest rainfall in the northwest and west. Strong winds are likely to blow in the north. The British were called to make the most of the hot weekend, with a colder weather front following (PA) Neil Armstrong, Chief Meteorologist, said: “Most people will see some decent weather for the holidays this weekend and it will feel hot in places, especially for the first half of the Easter holidays. “However, a low-pressure system will affect the north-west of the UK later on Sunday, bringing unstable weather to the north with some strong winds and rain in the north-west, which could affect driving conditions for some, but further south will be drier. . especially in the southeast. “There will be varying amounts of clouds, but temperatures are likely to be above average for the season, although low clouds may keep temperatures lower in coastal areas. “However, where the sun rises, people can expect some very pleasant spring conditions.”
