Sunny spells and warm temperatures are predicted for Manchester this weekend, as weather experts predict the UK could be hit by an extreme weather front dubbed the 'Africa plume' by the end of May.
Weather maps show that high pressure will soon replace the wet and windy conditions most of the country has endured so far this spring, with temperatures predicted to rocket up to highs of 35C, reports the Mirror. The Met Office's long-range forecast, which covers the period from Tuesday May 23 to Thursday June 1, states that high pressure "will dominate over most of the UK through the first half of this period, with settled conditions for most of the country".
The predicted warm weather fronts will "bring a good deal of fine and dry weather for the majority of areas". Before this, though, Mancunians can still look forward a dry and settled weekend - with perhaps more enjoyable, warm temperatures.
