The British can expect “the warmest day of the year so far” tomorrow, as the “warm southern air current” raises the temperatures on Good Friday just in time for Easter.
With temperatures reaching 22C in the southeast, Friday’s weather will beat the hottest months of March, according to the weather service.
Richard Miles, a spokesman for the Met Office, said: “Tomorrow will be the warmest day of the year so far, although it’s not surprising since it’s April.
“There will be pleasant spring weather everywhere, but the weather seems clearer in the south and east, while on Saturday the central and western parts have slightly higher temperatures.
“But nowhere will it be as warm on Saturday as on Friday.”
However, the forecaster advised sun-seekers to “make the most of the weekend” for Easter activities, as “Monday expects more moderate temperatures and wetter.”

According to the meteorological service, Friday will be bright everywhere, except in parts of the north and west, where cloudy periods and outbursts of rain and drizzle can be observed, which will weaken later.
The warm weather will decrease slightly on Saturday, which will see a mixture of clear and sunny periods with more cloudy areas and some precipitation.
In the beginning there will be some fog and foggy spots in the interior of the land and larger areas with low clouds and fog around some coasts will lower the temperatures a bit in these places, especially in the east. Elsewhere it will feel warm, especially in any sun, but maybe a little cooler than Friday.

Sunday will be similar, although it is generally drier than Saturday, with rain limited mainly to the north and west.
However, more persistent rain coming from the west in the evening will signal a change in unstable, cooler weather than Monday.
On Monday, the rainstorms will move east, followed by lighter conditions and rains that will give a generally higher average temperature than the weekend.
Parts of the south and southeast are expected to remain mostly dry with the heaviest rainfall in the northwest and west. Strong winds are likely in the north.

Neil Armstrong, chief meteorologist, said: “Most people will see some periods of decent weather for bank holidays this weekend and will feel warm in some places, especially during the first half of the Easter holidays.
“However, a low-pressure system will affect the north-west of the UK later on Sunday, leading to volatile weather in the north with some strong winds and rain in the north-west, which could affect driving conditions for some but the further south it will be drier, especially the southeast.
“There will be different amounts of clouds, but it is likely that temperatures will be above average for the time of year, although low clouds may maintain lower temperatures in coastal areas.
“However, when the sun rises, people can expect very pleasant spring conditions.”
