UK to bask in heat warmer than Greece with 500 mile-wide steamy subtropical air plume
BBC weatherman Simon King said that we could see 17C in the South-East on Thursday, with temperatures more like early May than mid-February as winds from the Azores bring warmer air that peaks on Thursday
Britain will be warmer than Greece as a 500 mile-wide steamy subtropical Valentine’s air plume brings record-nudging 18C (64F) temperatures.
But winter will bite back in March in a U-turn of the seasons. Highs will push the February 15 temperature record of 18.2C on Thursday (February 15) amid a waft of warm air from the Azores – as shown on a weather map.
Britain will be hotter than 16C Corfu after a balmy 16C Valentine’s Day. The South and Midlands will enjoy sunny spells, although the 15C North will be wetter, with flood risks in the South-West as Atlantic rain arrives with the mild air.
BBC weatherman Simon King said: “We could see 17C in the South-East on Thursday. Temperatures will be more like early May than mid-February. Winds from the Azores are bringing warmer air, with temperatures peaking on Thursday.”
A Met Office forecaster said: “Temperatures are rising and it will feel more like spring in places, with highs well above the 8C UK average at this time of year. There will be bright spells and it will feel very mild. But there will also be further cloud and rain.”
But winter isn’t over, as forecasters warned of March chills and snow. A Met Office forecaster said: “It will be a mild couple of weeks ahead across the UK, with signs of some drier weather next week.
But early March has an increased chance of colder than average conditions, with the potential for snow on the boundary between milder and colder air.
“During late February and early March, there is a slightly higher than normal likelihood of northerly or easterly winds occurring, which would increase the chance of colder and drier than average conditions. Spells of milder and wetter weather are still likely to occur at times, especially in the south and southwest, with the potential for snow on the boundary between milder and colder air.”
