Temperatures were to drop to as low as -10°C in the Highlands of Scotland on Thursday, but there is better news in the forecast with temperatures set to rise over the bank holiday weekend. It could even get as warm as 21°C in some areas, but there will be some unsettled weather over the weekend.
Bank holiday Monday looks to be the best day of the long weekend as high pressure starts to take charge. The Met Office forecasts says Barcelona will be 19°C on Monday and Rome will be 20°C.
Following on from a week of contrasts, the Met Office says increasingly warmer conditions will spread north eastwards across the UK following below-average temperatures earlier in the week.
