AS MARCH PROGRESSES, THE POTENTIAL FOR UK TEMPERATURES TO PUT THE SPANISH CAPITAL IN THE SHADE INCREASE, WEATHER FORECASTERS HAVE SAID. 18:17, 12 Mar 2024Updated 12:42, 13 Mar 2024 The UK
could experience 20C highs soon - as the country is set to bask in temperatures warmer than Madrid and Barcelona. As March progresses, the potential for UK temperatures to put the Spanish
capital in the shade increase, weather forecasters have said. On Netweather's blog, meteorologist Jo Farrow said: "UK temperatures could reach 19 or 20C by Thursday in a warmer
southerly flow. There will be rain, particularly in Wales, Northwest England, Southwest Scotland and around the Irish Sea... Other areas will see a mostly dry week, for the rest of England
and northeast Scotland." Forecasters at The Met Office say it will turn milder throughout this week in the UK. The service says it will be warmest in the Southeast of England and London
in the coming days as the mercury edges up through the twenties. READ MORE: Women swear by 'game changing' menopause patches which help with sleep, low mood and hot flushes The
Met Office has also delivered an update for the end of the month and into April. Looking ahead from March 27 to April 10, it said: "During late-March and into the start of April,
pressure is likely to move to higher than average to the north of the UK. This pattern tends to push the focus of unsettled weather further south than usual, with highest rainfall most
likely to be in the south of the UK. Article continues below "Conversely, northern areas tend to be drier compared to normal. Temperatures will probably be near average or slightly
above overall, with any cooler interludes most likely in the north." On its own website, the BBC Weather team has also had its say. Looking from March 9 to March 17, it said: "From
midweek onwards, bands of rain are expected to move in from the south-west as Atlantic low pressure systems approach, occasionally heavy and thundery, mainly in southern areas, with
relatively short-lived brighter periods. "This will also have the effect of drawing in warmer air, with temperatures rising above the seasonal average." And the BBC meteorologists
went on to say: "Winds will increase fresh to strong at times but noteworthy strength is a low risk."
