London set for mini-heatwave with highs of 15C after beer gardens open
Warm weather is set to grace London next week as beer gardens open for the first time in four months.
Forecasters predict sunny intervals with a gentle breeze on Monday April 12, when temperatures will reach highs of 8°C.
That is a step up from Easter weekend, when smatterings of snow fell in the capital city less than a week after Londoners enjoyed the hottest March day for 50 years.
Temperatures rose above 24°C on Tuesday before dropping to 6°C just six days later.
Forecasters said the cold weather stems from a change of wind direction.
Luckily, things will improve next week as England takes another step out of lockdown.
A mini-heatwave appears on the cards for the first weekend of pubs reopening in the capital.
While the week will get off to a mild start, temperatures will rise from Monday 12, reaching highs of 13°C on Friday and Saturday and 14°C on Sunday, according to BBC Weather.
Forecasters predict highs of 15°C on Monday April 19.
While these temperatures aren’t as high as last week’s heatwave, chances of rain are low.
This will come as welcome news for many planning to spend the weekend at the pub with a pint in their hand for the first time all year.
From April 12, pubs and restaurants will reopen outdoors for groups of six or people from two households.
Non-essential retail will also open as well as hairdressers, nail salons, gyms and leisure centres.
