The colder Arctic air across the UK over the last few days has meant temperatures have struggled to reach double figures for many. <\/p>\n
Combined with some wintry showers and snow over higher ground, it felt like winter had made a return.<\/p>\n
However, through this week a warmer southerly wind will draw up air from the Mediterranean and bring temperatures around six or seven degrees above average on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Widely across England and Wales temperatures will get into the mid to high teens.<\/p>\n
For Wales we’re very likely to see the warmest day of the year so far with the temperature exceeding the 17.8C recorded at Porthmadog on 5 March.<\/p>\n
And there’s a possibility somewhere in the Midlands, north-west England or north-west Wales could see a temperature close to 20C.<\/p>\n
That could potentially exceed the UK’s current highest temperature of the year so far of 19.2C – set in London earlier in March.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
