UK weather: Hundreds of Brits head to beaches & parks as temps hit 26C – but it won't last for long
SUN-SOAKED Brits have spent the weekend basking in the 26C heat with hundreds flocking down to the beach. UK temperatures soared on Saturday to officially cement this year as the sunniest spring on record - but the weather won't stay around for long. 9 9 9 9 Heathrow in west London peaked at 26.7C which was about 8C hotter than the average in the area for the time of year. The scorching heat also brought with it very high levels of grass pollen in the South East. The final day of May topped off a hot few months in the UK with provisional figures from the Met Office showing 630 hours of sunshine were clocked up between March 1 and May 27. Met Office meteorologist Tom Morgan said: "It's the last day of meteorological spring today but it'll actually feel more like midsummer for some southern and eastern areas. "It's fairly warm in that sunshine, particularly across more eastern and south-eastern parts of the UK, with temperatures in the mid 20s." As pub gardens and parks filled up, another bustling venue full of sun-loving Brits York racecourse. Racegoers were determined to make the most of the good weather and were aiming to top up their tans while watching the horses. Many had talked up the "Iberian heat" across the week. The Met Office said the jet stream, which is coming up from the Atlantic Ocean, will allow warm air to be drawn up from the Iberian Peninsula, carrying it to the UK. This led to the above-average temperatures in many parts of Britain. 9 9 But Sunday showers are set to rain on the weather's parade. Mr Morgan said it is already looking like a "different story" in the North West of England with people experiencing cooler and more showery weather. This is expected to spread across much of Britain on Sunday. He said: "Further showers and longer spells of rain across the north of the UK and feeling much fresher for all of us by tomorrow. "Generally a fine start for many parts of England and Wales, a mixture of clouds and sunny spells overall though it will be a breezier day tomorrow and generally a bit cloudier too. "So the cloud bubbling up through the morning, further showers and longer spells of rain pushing eastwards across Northern Ireland and Scotland, the odd rumble of thunder here and there. "Showers breaking out quite widely across northern England, Wales, the Midlands and the South West as well, but some places will stay dry, particularly across the South East of England." It all comes less than a week after Brits were soaked in a . Temperatures dropped to as low as -5C in some regions. Thunderstorms hit across the UK, with one area - in and around the River Mimram in Hertfordshire - being issued with a flood alert. 9 9

Spring was sunniest since records began as Brits enjoy 630 hours of sun in three months
SPRING was the sunniest since records began in 1910, the Met Office said yesterday. Britain enjoyed 630 hours of sun from March 1 to May 27. 2 That topped the previous best of 626 hours set around lockdown in 2020. Temperatures are also set to soar after days of rain. Today's 23C (73.4F) high will be topped by 25C (77F) tomorrow before a possible 27C (80.6F) on Saturday. Met Office forecaster Marco Petagna said: 'The best of the weather will be felt in the south east. "There will be some rain in places, particularly across western areas and parts of Wales. But for the most part it's going to be dry and sunny.' Summer's arrival comes hot on the heels of an unprecedented spring. The hottest day of the year so far was on May 1, when 29.3C (84.7F) was recorded at London's Kew Gardens. Forecasters said the latest provisional data means seven of the top ten sunniest springs have been recorded since 2000. Last year the UK saw only 377 hours of sunshine across March, April and May — making it one of the dullest springs on record. Met Office scientist Emily Carlisle said: 'We all remember the exceptionally sunny spring of 2020, but that title has now been surpassed by the spring of 2025. "It has indeed been an extremely sunny and dry spring for the majority. Some nice sunrise and sunsets' as weather bosses pinpoint Spring temps hit 17C 'But with a few days left of the season and more unsettled weather this week, it's too early to say what will happen with other records.' Figures for spring rainfall totals are due to be published by the Met Office later this week.
