Londoners are set for a weekend of rain and warm sunshine after a week in which a cold snap has gripped the capital.
The mixed forecast comes as experts suggested Britain could see all seasons this weekend with heavy snow, torrential rain and sun predicted in different places.
In London, bright and sunny spells, interrupted by outbreaks of rain, has been predicted for Saturday and Sunday.
On Saturday, temperatures are tipped to reach 12C and could reach as high as 14C on Sunday.
The sudden change comes after Londoners started the week in freezing conditions as hardy commuters battled against a four day cold snap.
Met Office forecaster Marco Petagna said: "There is a three-way split for this weekend, with a band of localised heavy rain pushing across the central slice of the country through today.
"We have a warning for persistent rain in Wales and the north west of England valid through today and tomorrow, with some parts looking at potentially three inches of rainfall through the weekend.
"The average rainfall for the month of February in Wales is around 3.5in (80mm), so it's almost a month of rain over two days.
"In Scotland it will be cold and we could see significant snowfall across the hills up to 20cm on the highest ground and there is another warning in place valid through until 11am on Sunday.
"The weather front is going be a big divide, with scope for brighter breaks in the south and temperatures into the low teens, as high as 14C in the south east on Sunday, but it's quite a blustery picture."
