UK weather: Easter 'heatwave' to start today with temperatures of 25C - but Bristol not quite so lucky

A run of warm and sunny weather with temperatures peaking at 25C in parts of the UK is set to begin today (April 17).

But while sunshine will hit Bristol, the city will not be quite so lucky as the Met Office is predicting highs of 20C.

While some parts of the UK are already basking in sun, the warm weather will really start in Bristol tomorrow (April 18).

There will then be plenty of sunshine during the Easter weekend, with temperatures being about 10C above average – meaning temperatures hotter than in Ibiza.

The hottest temperatures are likely to come on Saturday, as millions of Britons head to parks or beaches to enjoy the sunshine.

Across the UK, April 18 will be around 21-22C, although it will feel cooler in eastern counties.

On Good Friday, temperatures are expected to hit 22C followed by highs of 23C on Saturday.

There is a chance that some places could see highs of 25C in prolonged sunshine.
