The Met Office forecasts a midweek warm-up with highs surpassing seasonal averages, marking a shift from recent frosty conditions.
- The UK is set to experience warmer weather next week, with temperatures potentially reaching 18°C by Wednesday in southern regions.
- This marks a significant departure from the recent cold snap, which brought sub-zero nights and snowfall to parts of the country, including the Cheltenham Festival racecourse.
- High pressure moving toward the continent will allow warmer air from Europe to flow into the UK, contributing to the midweek temperature increase.

- Clear skies and sunny spells are predicted for much of the week, although overnight frost and fog may persist in some areas.
