By UK expects high temperatures this week
According to the Met Office’s latest weather charts, much of the UK can expect to see high temperatures this week, with thermometers nudging towards 25C.
Britain has experienced warm weather this April with temperatures over the Easter weekend reaching highs of 26C.
Now, temperatures are expected to rise once again with conditions likely to reach near 25C this week, forecasters claim.
According to the latest weather charts, we can expect that the hot temperatures will grip the country for much of the week, with Britons able to enjoy “wall to wall sunshine” on balconies and in their gardens.
BBC Weather forecaster, Simon King, responded to reports that this month could go down as the ‘Hottest April since 1659’, tweeting:
“Some tabloids this morning report it being the ‘Hottest April since 1659’. Central England Temperature is a series that goes all the way back to 1659.
“April 2020 currently running at fifth in this record. Warm week to come so could definitely be one of the warmest.”
The Met Office added:
“It’s going to be a week of wall to wall sunshine for much of the country, very little rainfall. Temperatures warming up day on day.
“By Thursday we could see highs of low 20C and reaching 24C on Thursday and possibly Friday.
“I wouldn’t rule out the likes of Greater London areas and southern regions even reaching 25C.”
BBC Weather forecaster, Carol Kirkwood, said:
“For many of us for the next couple of days we are going to be looking at blue skies, but there is also a keen easterly wind – that’s taking the edge off the temperatures, particularly on the east coast. That won’t ease until mid-week.
“As we move from Tuesday into Wednesday the high pressure dominating our weather starts to weaken. The isobars slacking so it’s not going to be as windy – it won’t feel as cold.
“What we have got through the course of Wednesday is a lot of sunshine. A cold start – but that won’t last very long and with the lighter winds, it is going to feel better.
“Thursday could be the warmest day of the week for some, with 23C, 24C or maybe 25C in the south.”
Leading bookmakers have even slashed odds on this week to see the hottest day of the year, so far.
