UK weather: Brits bask in 16C heat making it hotter than IBIZA – but make the most of it before rain hits

BRITS are bathing in gorgeous 16C heat today as temperatures soar to hotter than IBIZA.

The mercury topped 16C in Bedford, London, the south coast and much of Norfolk – smashing the Spanish party island which is currently 14C.


The lovely weather has been enough to tempt beachgoers out onto Blackpool beach where one lady was spotted braving the water with a bodyboard.

While runners in Newcastle were spotted out for a jog down the River Tyne as they enjoyed the Spring sunshine.

And tourists also made the most of the balmy 15C in Cambridge as they flocked to the River Cam for a spot of punting.

Smiling faces pushed themselves along The Backs in the picturesque university town as the sun beat down on the water.

A Met Office spokesperson told The Sun Online how the unseasonable weather has been brought up by winds from southern Spain.

But rain and blustery winds are forecast tomorrow and unsettled conditions over the weekend – dampening spirits over the coming days.

Tonight will see cloud and patchy light rain moving northwards across some parts, with heavy rain reaching the far southwest later, according to the Met Office.

Friday will see patchy rain clear northern and eastern parts to leave brighter spells in its wake.
