Weather forecaster Phil Morrish told Express.co.uk that the UK can expect “warmer weather” from this weekend. Jim Dale, senior meteorologist at British Weather Services, added that the UK can expect dry weather and blue skies. He said that temperatures are likely to sit between 17 and 18C, potentially reaching 20C.
The forecaster added that the UK will see “a lot of pleasant weather coming now”.
Mr Morrish said that the warmer air will move towards the UK from North Africa.
Speaking to Express.co.uk, he said: “We’re certainly going to get some warmer weather coming in this weekend.
“We’ll get temperatures of 15 or 16C.
“As of Saturday, we’re going to get what we call a Spanish plume event, where air from North Africa is moving north.”
A “Spanish plume” is a weather event that occurs when warm air pushes north from Iberia, causing an increased risk of thunderstorms.
Mr Dale added: “In terms of where we’re going, we’re going dry after today – more or less til the end of the month.
“There will be very little rain.
“We certainly will be seeing temperatures above the average going up in the daytime in the afternoons, not in the mornings.
“We’ll be looking at the 16C, 17C, 18C sort of temperatures.
“Over the course of this next week and a half to two weeks, knocking on the door of 20C.
“So it’s feeling a lot more spring-like, with the sunshine particularly.

“Those are shade temperatures I’m giving you there. So in the sunshine it’s warmer still.
“I would say to you there’s a lot of pleasant weather coming now.
