Weather girl Laura Tobin says Brits to enjoy 20C Easter weekend - but warns risk of Saharan dust

Good Morning Britain's Laura Tobin says temperatures in the UK are set to reach highs of 20C this weekend, just in time for the Easter bank holiday. While delivering her daily forecast on the ITV show this morning, the meteorologist said figures will be 'way above average' for the time of year - but warned there will be risk of Saharan dust.

"Weather-wise this week things are set to warm up", she told viewers, and although temperatures around this time of year tend to be between 11-14C, numbers are expected to be "way above average", which is "fantastic news" she says for anyone hoping for a summery Easter bank holiday - which you can watch in the video above.

However, the balmy forecast didn't come without a warning: "But another thing to look out for, and if you've washed your cars, this is bad news, more Saharan dust on the way, " she added. "That means there will be some beautiful sunsets and sunrises through the next few days, but we'll see some of that Saharan sand on the cars moving through south-eastern areas of England."
