Hotter weather is finally on the way with highs of 20°C this week

After a period of wet, windy and cold weather, the UK will finally begin to see signs of spring later this week.

Some parts of the country could see temperatures reach highs of 20C as warmer weather returns mid-week, according to the Met Office.

Areas further north, including the east coast of Scotland, will see colder temperatures still, partnered with rain.

Senior Met Office meteorologist Amy Bokota said: ‘Temperatures have been below average for the last couple of weeks, so certainly by the time we get to Wednesday, and probably into next weekend, temperatures will be warmer.
