    UK weather: Temperatures to soar up to 23C in some areas on Friday – as warning issued by fire brigade | UK News

    The UK is set for yet more sunshine on Friday, with some parts seeing highs of up to 23C – almost 10C higher than average for this time of the year.

    London is expected to enjoy 22C on Friday afternoon, according to the Met Office, while parts of the southeast and the southwest are set to bask in 20C to 21C sunshine.

    And forecasters say there is a chance of 23C east Wales, central and southeast England – and potentially even as far north as the east of Scotland.

    The temperatures are considerably higher than the average of around 13C for this time of the year.

    The London Fire Brigade (LFB) has issued a warning against using barbecues amid a heightened risk of fires.

    Amid a reported 48% increase in calls last weekend compared to the same weekend last year, the LFB called on Londoners to “act responsibly” to prevent blazes.

    LFB assistant commissioner Thomas Goodall said: “The risk of wildfires in London currently is heightened and this risk increases with every day that passes without rainfall.”

    “Over the Easter holidays, parents should ensure that their children understand the fire risks to help protect our open spaces.”

    The LFB also urged Londoners “to take steps to ensure they are not inadvertently starting a fire.

    “They can do this by not using barbecues in open spaces or on balconies, including disposable ones, to throw rubbish away, and to dispose of cigarettes carefully.”
