UK weather: Met Office predicts parts of Britain could be as hot as Greece this Easter Bank Holiday

Parts of the UK could be as warm as Greece this Easter holiday, according to the latest forcasts.

The Met Office shows temperatures claiming to 16C in Kent on Thursday, with WXCharts showing the mercury could even peak at 18C. That would put it on par with the Greek city of Larissa.

Bristol will miss out on the warmest weather, but temperatures are expected to reach 18C by Thursday. Today the Met Office is predicting sunny weather ahead following "frosty" temperatures across the South West this morning.

Bristol is set to see temperatures of up to 13C this afternoon, lasting from 2pm until 4pm. The Met Office's prediction for the day suggests that it should be an enjoyable Sunday afternoon, and says we can expect "sunny intervals changing to cloud by late morning".

And its forecast for the whole South West region today says: "After a frosty start, Sunday will be a dry day with best of the sunshine through the morning. More cloud will spill in from the west through the afternoon. Maximum temperature 14 °C."

The BBC is also predicting a day of sunny spells and gentle breezes, although it warns that this could be followed by rain on Monday. But its Sunday forecast for the South West makes for pleasant reading, and says it "is expected to be another dry day with plenty of spells of sunshine.

"There will be patchy cloud cover later in the afternoon but it should remain dry for most."
