Temperatures could reach 23°C in York in time for the late May bank holiday weekend, forecasters have suggested.
After a few chilly days, things are set to warm up.
Met Office meteorologist Annie Shuttleworth, in an online forecast, said: “By the end of next week and the start of the bank holiday weekend, temperatures could be above average, possibly in the low 20s for some areas.”
The “warming trend” looks likely to progress as there is “going to be a move from low pressure to high pressure dominating” the weather.
She said there could be high pressure in the east to start the week which then becomes more centred across the UK during the bank holiday weekend.
She added: “Whatever position that high pressure brings – all of them bring less cloud, a little bit more sunshine, and lighter winds, which means temperatures will be on the rise through next week.”
Temperatures may slowly start to rise from the start of next week.
As things stand, forecasters are predicting 24°C on Friday 22 May, 23°C on Saturday 23 May, 23°C on Sunday 24 May and 22°C on Monday 25 May.
