Parts of Britain could be '˜hotter than Ibiza' this weekend
We could be seeing highs of 26C in the East Midlands, East Anglia and the south east - making parts of the UK warmer than Barcelona and some of the Mediterranean islands, including Ibiza.
And the North West looks set for sunshine, too, with temperatures reaching the early 20s over the weekend.

Hide AdThe unseasonably hot weather is thanks to high pressure becoming established and encouraging a south-easterly airstream, drawing in warm air from the Continent.
This high pressure will mean a dry-ish weekend, hot in the sun, though it may feel close and muggy towards the weekend with a risk of thunderstorms.
