Summer may come earlier this year, as some experts predict a heatwave could sweep the nation.
April weather usually sees a daily high of around 12C and a low of 4C, but this year the high could reach a sweltering 28 degrees, according to some forecasters. Meteorology expert Jim Dale said the UK can expect the hot weather to come "fairly early" this year with temperatures reaching their highest point in the middle of April.
Weather experts at the Met Office predict 2022 will be among the warmest years on record - though it will be cooler than some fairly recent years. This is due to the impact of La Niña in the tropical Pacific, where sea surface temperatures are below average.

Dr Nick Dunstone, Met Office scientist, said: “Global temperature has been slightly suppressed during 2021 because of the cooling influence of La Niña in the tropical Pacific. With another La Niña now underway, making this a so-called ‘double-dip’ La Niña, it is not surprising that we are forecasting another relatively cool year for global temperatures when compared with the run of years since 2015.
“However, it is still likely that 2022 will be above 1.0C and hence continue the series of warmest years for global temperature since 1850.” While this is good news for fans of warmer climes, the Met Office is currently predicting April weather to be mild or "very mild" with spells of colder conditions also possible.
As ever, the sunniest weather is more likely to surface in the south and the east of the country.
