The UK could be hit by its first "soft heatwave" of the year, according to an export. Jim Dale, the British Weather Services' senior meteorologist, believes temperatures could soon soar.
Speaking to The Express, Mr Dale said he believes the mercury could rise to the mid-twenties from April 15. He said: "We do get heatwaves in April, it does happen. It'll be a soft heatwave for the second half of April, it could get somewhere in the mid-20s pushing to May, in that general direction.
"I can't be overly detailed at the moment, but the signs are there for this kind of change - it's when you see the charts going in that direction. The only thing we have to work with is unpredictability - but it is certainly going that way at the moment."
