A separate forecaster Metdesk predicts temperatures could rise to around 20C across Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Greater London.

Long term weather projections for this year remain uncertain with experts predicting that weather phenomenon El Niño may impact patterns around the globe this year.
Climate scientists say that the UK likely to experience more dramatic spells this winter as a result.
El Niño refers to the warming of the sea surface temperature and occurs every few years according to the Met Office.
However, the arrival of a strong El Niño could see Britain experience yet another year of record-breaking temperatures, with unpredictable weather and rainfall likely too.
The event could see the UK set for a higher chance of colder spells during the winter months, despite boosting overall global temperatures in late 2026 and early 2027 by around 0.2C.
