Following the disruption caused by Storm Dave over Easter, parts of the UK are forecast to experience the warmest temperatures of the year so far. London and the southeast could reach 24C by Wednesday, while Manchester could hit 20C. This is due to warmer air being drawn up from the continent. However, this warm spell is expected to be brief, with temperatures dropping significantly on Thursday and returning to normal for the time of year. The Met Office predicts more changeable weather with rain and showers, and potentially very windy conditions in the northwest by Friday. The warmer conditions are not unusual for this time of year, despite arriving earlier than expected.
