Met Office issue update on exactly when this weekend's 18C mini heatwave will end
dailystar.co.ukMet Office has issued an update revealing exactly when this weekend's mini heatwave will end.The national forecaster has said that this weekend could bring the UK's hottest day of the year, with highs between 18C to 20C expected.A huge high pressure system is set to bring a blast of North African air, which should mean conditions are very inviting today.Met Office meteorologist Clare Nasir has said: "Generally the weekend is looking fine and dry, much warmer with some sunshine."High pressure reaching across Denmark will allow for settled conditions to extend right across the UK, but some stronger winds on Saturday certainly."Gusts over the hills and moors as well as the mountains but with a southerly wind it will feel very warm across some parts, particularly I would say the Moray Firth where we could see an 18C." Unfortunately - as with all good weather in this country - this can't last forever and soon we'll be back to normal.
According to the Met Office's outlook from Saturday to Monday, Sunday will be when things start to turn sour. It reads simply: "Chance of rain, most likely in the east, from Sunday.
Turning colder through Sunday."It doesn't look like the sun will be making an immediate return either. The Met Office's long range forecast from Tuesday onward says: "There is likely to be variable cloud cover, most extensive in the south with the chance of some patchy light rain."Temperatures likely to be around normal, after a cold start."Despite the gloomy outlook from Sunday onward, this weekend is set to be exceptionally warm for this time of year.
