UK to Bask in Hottest Day of the Year, Surpassing Temperatures in Madrid and Barcelona

The United Kingdom is gearing up for the hottest day of the year so far, with temperatures expected to soar past those of Madrid, Spain, next week. The Met Office predicts temperatures to reach 16 degrees Celsius in some areas by Wednesday, a stark contrast to the chilly -2 degrees Celsius and freezing fog experienced on Saturday morning.

This surge in temperature will make Aberdeen, Scotland's "Granite City," hotter than landlocked Madrid, with temperatures surpassing the 13 degrees Celsius expected in Barcelona. London will also bask in highs of 15 degrees Celsius on Thursday.

The beginning of March will be "more lamb-like than lion-like," according to Met Office meteorologist Honor Criswick, with areas of high pressure bringing mild weather and plenty of sunshine. The common proverb "in like a lion, out like a lamb" refers to the tendency for March to begin with cold, wet weather and end with milder conditions.

While the middle of March is expected to be unsettled, with spells of rain and strong winds across the UK, dry and bright conditions could develop again later in the month. The UK has endured a "duller than average winter," said Alex Deakin of the Met Office, but "it's getting warmer, it's feeling warmer already," he added.

The Lake District, central Scotland, and Northern Ireland will face a cloudier day on Saturday, the first day of meteorological spring, with possible rain. However, most areas are set for a "fair, dry, and sunny" weekend.

"High pressure is likely to have more influence across the south of the UK, at least at first. However, through this period there is an increasing chance of unsettled conditions becoming more widely dominant across the UK with more in the way of rain at times for all areas, even in the south. Although, there will still be some drier interludes between these periods of unsettled conditions.

High pressure in the south? What about the north, are we chopped liver?

Even with some rain, it's still better than the freezing fog we had on Saturday.

Lamb-like March? What about the lion's share of rain and wind?

Unsettled middle of March? That's just a temporary setback before the beautiful weather returns.

A lamb-like March instead of a lion? Count me in!
