UK weather: Spring warmth to return as temperatures could hit 22C next week

On Saturday high pressure will sit to the south of the UK with an area of low pressure moving across northern parts.

That means cloud and outbreaks of rain will affect Scotland and Northern Ireland – potentially spoiling the chance to witness the partial solar eclipse – and will spread into Wales, northern and western England during the afternoon.

The best of the sunshine will be found across south-east England and East Anglia.

British Summer Time (BST) arrives on Sunday as the clocks go forward and high pressure will start to build a little more strongly.

Most places will be dry with patchy cloud and sunny spells. Temperatures will climb a little reaching highs of 18C (64F) in parts of southern and eastern England.
