Though it may feel like we've only just left icy downpours and wintery showers behind us, summer is fast approaching and the UK is finally set to see a break of warm and sunny weather. The Met Office predicts parts of the country will be hotter than Spain this week, with sunshine forecast until Friday at least.
Bristol can expect balmy temperatures through the week, not dropping below 17C, before hitting 20C on Monday, May 22. Though the Met Office forecasts cloudy skies for much for the week, residents can expect sunshine through the weekend and into next week.
So far, May has appeared to throw everything as the South West, from a drizzly bank holiday weekend to thunderstorms last week. With unseasonable cold and wet weather for the time of year, many Brits will be looking forward to (at least a week) of warm weather - with some cities boasting higher temperatures than Spain.
