London set to be HOTTER than Nice at Easter as Met Office predicts 21C Good Friday scorchers

‘Some very pleasant spring conditions’

Neil Armstrong, chief meteorologist, said: “Most people will see some spells of decent bank holiday weather this weekend and it will feel warm in places, particularly in the first half of the Easter holidays.

“However, later on Sunday a low pressure area will hit the north west of the UK bringing unsettled weather to the north with some strong winds and rain in the north west which could affect driving conditions for some but it will be drier further south. especially in the southeast.

“There will be variable amounts of cloud but temperatures are likely to be well above average for the time of year, although low cloud could keep temperatures lower in coastal areas.

“But where the sun is shining, people can expect very pleasant spring conditions.”
