Britain will finally see a spell of hot weather in the coming days as the latest maps pinpoint the exact date when temperatures get into double digits. Maps from WXCharts show that the southern parts of the UK could see temperatures rising to 17C on May 6.
The country is currently battling with a mix of rain and wind, as many hope for warmer weather.
The average maximum temperatures for mid to late April across the country varies around 11-16C.
But it has remained a bit cold over the last few days, with temperatures in the north hovering around 2-3C.
However, the beginning of May might bring mild temperatures back to the country as some areas of low pressure will move in from the south-west.
According to the BBC weather forecast, by the start of May, the UK could experience temperatures coming up to around an average of 13-17C.
It stated: “Later in the week, they may actually creep to above average.”
The Met Office’s long-range forecast between April 27 and May 6 suggests a “north-south” divide.
It stated: “An uncertain start to the period though likely unsettled as a frontal system pushes into southern areas and possibly across the UK through the weekend.
“Beyond this low pressure patterns becoming more dominant than of late with wet weather perhaps more likely to develop in parts of the south and east, with western and especially northern areas hanging on to the best of any drier interludes, though all parts are may see some rain at times.
“Onshore winds along eastern coasts will likely make it feel rather cold at times, though for all parts temperatures will likely trend back toward average.
“Into early May, something of a north-south split looks possible, with relatively drier conditions further to the north and the greatest chance of rain further to the south.”
