Forecasters suggest the dry, warm weather could creep in within the next two weeks

Britons are set to bask in temperatures of up to 21C as the UK sees a "transition zone" from raging wet weather to "pleasant" spring conditions.

Forecasters suggest the dry, warm weather could creep in over the next 10 to 14 days.


Senior meteorologist and social commentator, Jim Dale told GB News that higher pressure is expected to move across France towards the south of England and Wales - bringing warmer temperatures.

Last week saw temperatures soared to 20.9C across Suffolk, Hull, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire.

Dale said Britain could be "revisiting" these figures in around 10 days time.

He said: "We're seeing a transition zone, where we are at the tail end of the wet weather and we will begin to see a north, south split.

"It will likely be dry and warm across southern England and Wales while the north and Scotland will transition slower - it may not be for another three or four weeks that Scotland transitions.

"But it appears we are out of the intense rain and we should see more heat, possibly revisiting temperatures of 21C in the next 10 to 14 days."

Met Office forecasters suggest this week's "colder, northerly flow will possibly give way to something milder from the Atlantic".

Southern and eastern of England are likely to see some "decent spells of drier weather with some good sunshine at times".

And while some rain is still likely, the Met Office say "this less heavy and much less frequent than recently".

Dale added that while temperatures are set to rise, Britain is looking at "pleasant spring weather" and "not highs of 30C just yet".

He said: "There will be more sunshine which will dry out the land, there is better weather to come.

"We are not going to temperatures of 30C, no heatwaves yet. That is all to come, later rather than sooner.

"For now, it will be pleasant spring weather which will lift morale until the big crunch later in the year."
