The UK is due to expect a ‘mini heatwave’ next week with many regions forecast temperatures warmer than Greece and Turkey following the Easter bank holiday weekend
Brits are set to welcome warmer weather next week after the Easter weekend – as it finally appears as if spring has arrived.
According to WXCharts weather maps, using MetDesk data, several regions in the UK are expected to reach temperatures higher than in Greece and Turkey.
On Tuesday, April 7, parts of England are forecast highs of 20C, with the south soaking up most of the sun.
In Turkey, much of the nation will only reach 14C, alongside some areas in Greece that can expect highs of 17C, according to the weather maps.
In the UK, temperatures are expected to peak in the early evening with London and surrounding areas climbing towards the 20s around 6pm.
Brits in 11 regions will be basking in sun warmer than that in Greece, with a large majority of the UK warmer than Turkey.
On Tuesday, the East Midlands and certain areas in the South West will reach at least 15C, feeling the same as the Mediterranean country.
Even in the north, Manchester and South Yorkshire are forecast temperatures higher than those in Turkey
Although Greece is forecast warmer weather, a lot of the south of England will still have higher temperatures.

The warm spell appears to be a kickstart of a mini-heatwave as temperatures continue to rise, with highs of 22C forecast on April 9. Again, the Southeast of England and the East of England will be the hottest.
The Met Office says temperatures can be expected to above average during this period. The forecast says: “A broad northwest to southeast split is most likely during this period.
“The northwest is likely to be more unsettled with low-pressure systems moving in at times, bringing periods of strong winds and showers or longer spells of rain.
“In the southeast, high pressure will have greater influence, with more settled, drier weather as a result. Temperatures overall are likely to be near to or slightly above normal, but there remains the chance of some overnight frost.”
