Temperatures are warming up for the weekend as most of Britain can expect to be bathed in sunshine. However, the Met Office has warned that a sun-kissed Saturday, which would be ideal for a barbecue, could be followed by heavy rain and thunderstorms.
Saturday could be “16-19C widely - with 24C the possible high in the south east and that would make it the warmest day of the year so far”, according to Met Office meteorologist Aidan McGivern. Widespread sunshine is set to be present from the north of Scotland to the south of England, with just some patchy cloud in the north and west.
The warm air is also likely to spark a few heavy showers. Mr McGivern said: “By Saturday evening, those showers would be making an appearance into the south west, spreading quite widely into southern parts of England and South Wales.
