BRITAIN is set to be hotter than MADRID this weekend with balmy temperatures reaching into the late-teens.
But despite the warm Spring weather, Brits will face a cold snap and snowfall in the weeks ahead – as the weather is set to take a turn on Monday.
On Saturday, London will be hotter than the Spanish capital as the mercury reaches 17C- with beaches along the coast and parks set to be packed out.
On Friday, temperatures will be "fairly warm," according to the Met Office.
And Saturday and Sunday will see “sunny spells and scattered showers” in the east and south.
The warm spells will subside by Monday, when it's expected to get colder.
