UK to enjoy 20C temperatures next week as the rule of six returns

Forecasters have predicted temperatures of 20C in the UK by the end of March, as high pressure moves over from a southerly direction.

Households will be allowed to mix outdoors and in private gardens from next week, as coronavirus lockdown measures begin to ease.

According to the Express, WXCharts predicted temperatures will reach up to 20 degrees by midday on March 31 and are expected to remain high in the first week of April.

By April 2, temperatures will peak at 21 degrees as the entire country turns yellow in the long-range forecast.

Across Europe, temperatures will soar to 37 degrees by the end of the month.

But unfortunately, the weather doesn't look quite as good for Liverpool.

The Met Office is predicting a high of 14C on Monday for the city.

They said: "Showers will ease during Saturday morning then a largely dry day. Outbreaks of heavy rain on Sunday.

"Cloudy with further rain on Monday. Windy throughout with the risk of gales."

The Met Office's long-range weather forecast for Monday March 29 to Wednesday April 7 said: "Rain could be persistent and heavy early next week, especially across some hills in the west.

"Drier in the south and very mild at times to start next week. There are signals for high pressure to build to the west of the UK later in the week, allowing colder air to spread south bringing a mixture of sunshine and showers, with these mainly in the north and east and turning wintry over hills.

"These cooler, showery conditions may well persist into the middle of the week. Temperatures are likely to start rather warm or warm for parts of the south and southeast, but will likely widely return back to, or rather below, average by the weekend."
