​UK Hot Enough To ‘Fry An Egg On A Car Bonnet’ As Temperatures Soar

According to one meteorologist, temperatures of up to 30°C are set to bear down in direct sunshine in some places

As the UK continues to bask in the welcome spring sunshine, we've seen legs out and tops off as Brits acclimatise to their new balmy way of life - albeit slightly prematurely, some might argue, as we're a still a long way off from those long, red-hot summer days.

But even if we're not quite ready for a paddling pool in the back garden, the warm weather has proven to be just the tonic for many people, who have happily embraced the rays with an al fresco pint or that first tentative Calippo of the year.

And things are due to get even better, according to one meteorologist, with temperatures of up to 30°C set to bear down in direct sunshine - hot enough, he says, to fry an egg on the bonnet of a car.

Jim Dale, a meteorologist for British Weather Services, told Express.co.uk: "We expect general highs of 21C (70F) in the warmest spots over the next couple of days.

"But in direct sunshine, it might be possible to record temperatures of 30°C, the sort of temperatures which can make it hot enough to fry an egg on a car bonnet.

"This can bring the risk of sunburn, so this is something for people to watch out for."

But before you build up your hopes for a Thursday fry-up on the driveway, be warned that not everywhere in the UK will be welcoming such sizzling temperatures.

The Met Office forecast for today says: "Early fog patches quickly clearing to leave another warm day with plenty of sunshine for most. Very isolated afternoon showers may develop in the north, more likely over eastern Scotland. Cloudier in the northwest with some light rain at times."

Its outlook for Friday says we can expect 'dry and warm sunny spells for many' again, although things will be 'cloudier in the far northwest', with 'one or two isolated afternoon showers may develop across northern England and southeastern Northern Ireland'.

As for Sunday to Monday, the Met Office says: "Mainly settled with light winds and warm sunny spells; cloudier in the far north with occasional light rain. Early mist/fog patches in places, clearing inland but lingering near some coasts."

The BBC's Chris Fawkes also warned that spring is a notoriously 'fickle' season, telling people not to get 'too used to the warm' as colder temperatures head our way.

"Next week we're looking at a big change with these colder, northerly winds spreading down," he said.

"They'll bring much chillier air our way."
