UK weather: London to be hotter than Athens this week as temperatures rise after months of rain
Met Office confirms warm weather forecast after months of relentless rain
- London is forecast to be hotter than Athens this week, with temperatures reaching up to 17C and other parts of central and southeastern England potentially seeing 18C.
- This warmer weather follows months of relentless rain and recent severe conditions from Storm Pedro, which brought rain, ice, and snow.
- A change in wind conditions, drawing air from the south, is attributed to the rise in temperatures, marking the highest of the year so far in some areas.
- The Met Office predicts a generally drier and brighter outlook for the southern and eastern parts of the UK, with mild conditions for most.
- Scientists warn that increasingly turbulent UK weather, including significantly wetter winters and increased flood risk, is a consequence of climate change.
