South-east England could reach 24C as settled weather replaces rain and 70mph winds which battered the north
Parts of the UK are forecast to experience the warmest temperatures of the year so far in the wake of Storm Dave, which caused widespread damage and disruption over the Easter weekend.
London and south-east England could reach temperatures of 21C or 22C on Tuesday, rising to 24C on Wednesday, while Manchester could hit 20C, forecasters said, as a short period of settled weather replaced the rain and 70mph winds that battered parts of northern England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Thursday, however, was expected to bring another big change, with temperatures predicted to drop to between 10C and 14C.
It would be mostly dry on Wednesday, with spells of warm sunshine, turning fresher everywhere from Thursday, with showers or longer spells of rain and potentiality very windy weather in the north-west by Friday, the Met Office said.
