A mini-heatwave is forecasted to impact 27 areas across the UK this weekend, with temperatures soaring to 21°C, making it warmer than Greece. The Met Office indicates that the warm weather will stretch from Liverpool in the north to Bude in the south, with major cities such as London, Glasgow, Manchester, and Birmingham expected to enjoy pleasant conditions. Today, temperatures are predicted to rise to around 19°C in the afternoon, following a cooler start. However, the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service has issued a warning of a 'very high' risk of wildfires in Glasgow as temperatures approach 20°C. The warm spell is expected to continue into Saturday, with high pressure maintaining dry and sunny conditions. While southern regions will bask in warmth, northern Scotland will remain cooler, with temperatures ranging from 7°C to 9°C. The Met Office's long-range forecast suggests that this trend of above-normal temperatures and predominantly dry weather will persist into early May.
