UK weather: Half-term holidaymakers to bask in 24C sunshine today – and it’s going to get even better
HALF-term holidaymakers are set to bask 24C heat today – and forecasters say the weather is only set to get better.
The Met Office predicts warm sunshine will sweep over the UK just in time for young Brits to enjoy their time off school.
It’s thought thousands will flock to Britain’s beaches and parks this week to soak up some rays.
Today Scotland will see the warmest temperatures – with the mercury set to hit 24C in Fort William.
Meanwhile, England will see top temperatures of 22C in Southampton.
The Met Office says today will be “mostly dry” although “rather cloudy for many at first”.
The forecast continues: “Cloud gradually breaking and becoming confined towards the far north and east of Scotland, along with some central and eastern parts of England.
“Otherwise warm sunshine developing. Breezy in the south.”
Tonight is also set to stay dry with “late sunshine for many”.
Tomorrow’s forecast reads: “Early cloud retreating towards the north and east, and here staying cool.
“Elsewhere plenty of warm sunshine developing as the cloud breaks quite readily. Remaining rather breezy in the south.”
But things are set to get even better as we head into the weekend.
The forecast reads: “Warm sunshine for many, although low cloud persisting across parts of the north and east, becoming more widespread temporarily overnight.”
