Away from the NE, there looks to be a cracking week in prospect. Never as warm in the West, but there should be sunshine on offer at times. The Midlands and especially the SE should have some wonderful spring weather to start April. A UK max of 21C Wed and Thurs, somewhere in, or within striking distance of London? Quite possible. 25C? Maybe. A date record on Wed (presently) 23.9C, 75F in Leeming (N Yorks) in 1946)? Not impossible, IMO; it is going to be very warm, for some.

Fantastic charts for early April this morning, possible extending the warmth further than the week and out to 10 days. This could be a memorable spell of weather coming up.

I can't find my original post, think it was a reply to one of Dave's posts, but my spring forecast (albeit just a few figures worked out from pattern matching back to 1797) indicated a dry, sunny and warm April

Not quite 21C (70F) yet, but I think it will be achieved during the week and perhaps higher on Thursday? Not a fantastic week for all, but notable maxes.
