Good news for those in the UK looking for warmer weather! Today, parts of the country are expected to reach a pleasant 18°C. This is all thanks to a 500 mile-wide warm air mass from the Azores, giving us temperatures similar to those in sunny Corfu, Greece.
While those in the south and midlands can look forward to basking in the warm temperatures and soaking up some sun, the north may experience wetter weather and potential flooding in the south west. According to BBC weatherman Simon King, the south east could see highs of 17°C on Thursday. These temperatures are more fitting for early May rather than mid-February, all thanks to the warm winds blowing in from the Azores.
The Met Office also predicts a similar trend, with temperatures rising and giving us a taste of spring in some areas. The highs are expected to be well above the average for this time of year, which is usually around 8°C. We can expect sunny spells and a mild atmosphere, but there may also be some clouds and rain in certain areas.
As the UK revels in the sunshine today, it's hard not to notice the 500 mile-wide warm air mass that has descended upon us. However, don't pack away your winter coats just yet as forecasters warn of potential cold weather and snow in March. According to the forecast, the next couple of weeks will continue to be mild, with a possibility of drier weather next week. But early March could bring a return to colder temperatures, with a chance of snow as warm and cold air meet.
So, for now, let's enjoy the warm weather and make the most of the sunshine. But let's also keep in mind that winter may not be completely over yet. Stay tuned for updates and be prepared for whatever weather may come our way in the upcoming weeks.
