Exact date Britain will be warmer than Madrid with spring temperatures

Brits will be bathed in spring temperatures in a matter of hours as the mercury look set to rise higher than in Madrid.

Weather maps reveal figures of 12C in parts of Britain this weekend, despite the mixed bag outlet for the Easter Bank Holiday. Forecasters so far have already warned of a washout while Storm Nelson meanwhile has battered the south coast and parts of France, Spain and Portugal on Thursday.

But it seems despite the outlook, temperatures will at least be creeping back up. Maps from WXCharts, which uses MetDesk data, show it ranging between 8 and 13C on Saturday afternoon, compared with an outlook of 12C in Spain's capital.

Experts however have urged caution for those planning on heading outdoors over the weekend as pasrt of the country may still face downpours. The Met Office said that the week's "unsettled" weather would continue throughout Good Friday, with bars of low pressure continuing to feed showers and longer spells of rain.

Saturday, the service said, would see further showers in the South and West, although the sky could clear for a bit of sunshine for thoe in the North and East of the country. Easter Sunday has the best outlook, although conditions would return to more unsettled from the south later Sunday and into Easter Monday bringing a more unsettled day - particularly across the South.

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Helen Caughey said: “Showers will continue into the weekend, especially for southern and western areas. However, it is likely that we will see something of an improvement for most areas, with showers tending to become less frequent, and a better chance of longer spells of sunshine for eastern and northern areas, especially on Sunday.

“It will also become less windy, and temperatures should start to trend upwards, feeling quite warm in any sunshine. However, more widely unsettled conditions look likely to return into Easter Monday, but there is still some uncertainty in the timing of this deterioration.”
