Temperatures in London are set to climb to 14C this weekend in unseasonably warm weather for February.

The year got off to a sizzling start as New Year’s Day was the hottest on record before temperatures plunged across the country to icy conditions.

Now temperatures are predicted to rise again with milder weather on the cards for this weekend.

Clouds will disappear from London’s skies and the sun will be out on Friday, according to BBC’s weather forecast.

BBC‘s Kate Kinsella said: “It will be a bright start for Friday morning with some sunshine but by Friday afternoon coming in from the west, milder air and more cloud and that milder air is going to move in as we head into the weekend.

“We’re looking at temperatures getting potentially up to 14C but it is going to be a little more unsettled.”

Alyssa Smithmyer, from Accuweather, revealed there was a chance of three inches of snow falling by the weekend.

She told the Daily Express: “On Saturday and Sunday, a separate low-pressure system will bring the possibility of rainy spells over north and central regions of the UK, as well as the chance for wintry showers across northern Scotland, south-central Scotland and the higher ground in northern England late Sunday.”
