UK weather weekend forecast LIVE – Sunday to see 20C heatwave but Met Office predicts cold and sunny conditions today
TODAY will get off to a cold and frosty start – but plenty of sunshine will warm up some areas for an expected 20C heatwave this weekend.
The Met Office tweeted on Thursday evening: “It’ll be another cold and #frosty start on Friday morning, but there’ll also be some #sunshine for many of us.”
“Showers will affect some northern areas, especially near the coasts and as temperatures rise, #showers will break out more widely, heaviest in the north and east.”
Heavy snow blanketed parts of the UK on Thursday in a -6C freeze while southern Brits bask in sunshine.
But a mini-heatwave with highs of 20C is expected to sweep southern parts of England this weekend – but Scotland will still be feeling the chill.
In parts of Scotland, temperatures reached as low as -5.5C yesterday morning as a cold snap hits northern Brits.
The Met Office said the South East of England will see the best of the warm weekend weather coming in from the continent.
