Winter-weary Brits are in for a pleasant surprise this week as a “subtropical surge” brings balmy Mediterranean temperatures to the UK, with parts of the country set to be as warm as Madrid and Rome. After days of grey skies, frosty nights, and sleet or snow showers, the gloomy weather will make way for sunshine, with temperatures expected to reach highs of 17°C by Friday—matching Madrid’s forecast.
Rome, meanwhile, is predicted to see highs of 16°C, meaning parts of South East England could feel even warmer. The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for snow and ice in Scotland and Northern Ireland for Tuesday, but the rest of the week will see a shift to milder conditions, according to Daily Star.
