UK to Experience Warmer Temperatures Than Ibiza for Start of Spring
Highs of up to 19°C are forecast in southern England this week, significantly above seasonal averages.
- The Met Office predicts temperatures of up to 19°C in southern England by Thursday, coinciding with the spring equinox.
- These temperatures are 8°C above the seasonal average and warmer than popular holiday destinations like Ibiza and Corfu.
- The warm spell is attributed to a high-pressure system bringing dry and sunny conditions across much of the UK.
- While southern England will see the highest temperatures, warmer weather will also extend to southern Scotland, Northern Ireland, and the Midlands by midweek.
- The week will start with colder conditions, including overnight frost, but temperatures will steadily rise from Tuesday onward.
