UK to See Warmest Day of the Year with Temperatures Surpassing Madrid

The Met Office forecasts a mild start to March with temperatures reaching up to 16°C, marking a stark shift from recent frosty conditions.

The UK is expected to experience its warmest day of the year next week, with temperatures reaching up to 16°C in some areas, surpassing those in Madrid and Barcelona.
London is forecast to see highs of 14°C to 15°C by midweek, while Aberdeen could reach 15°C, making it warmer than parts of Spain.
The start of March is described as 'more lamb-like than lion-like,' with high pressure bringing mild and bright weather after a colder weekend with freezing fog and temperatures as low as -2°C.
The Met Office predicts unsettled conditions with rain and strong winds in mid-March but notes the possibility of a return to drier and brighter weather later in the month.
This shift follows a 'duller than average winter,' according to meteorologists, with clear skies anticipated for the weekend and favorable conditions for viewing a rare planetary alignment.
