The UK is set to bask in glorious sunshine over the Easter weekend, as forecasters predict that temperatures could reach a scorching 24C in a matter of weeks.
The rainy conditions of the past weeks will be long gone for most by Wednesday, with blue skies and balmy 16C sunny spells sweeping in for the Easter bank holiday.
Temperatures could reach 24C in May thanks to south-westerly subtropical air, with Britain set to swelter into summer, reports the Daily Star.
