Travelling across the border into Northumberland and warm temperatures continue. Around Newcastle the mercury will hit 20C according to the forecast with temperatures remaining around 17C along the northern coastline.
Yorkshire will also experience high temperatures on Thursday with temperatures rocketing up to 19C in Leeds. Along the coast in Hull conditions will remain between 17C to 18C.
The Met Office also shared its forecast for tomorrow stating that cloud and mist would not linger for much of the day. Instead millions will be able to enjoy the sunshine for just a little longer.
“Low cloud, mist and fog clearing to leave a dry and sunny day for most,” The Met Office said in its Thursday forecast. “Feeling warm, especially in the east. However clouds lingering across the southeast into the afternoon.”
While the UK has enjoyed a bout of pleasant sunny weather, it appears it will come to an end from Friday.
In its weekend outlook, the Met Office said: “Dry and sunny for many on Friday and Saturday, with rain spreading into the far northwest from Friday. Feeling warm, but turning cooler from the north, with showers on Sunday.”
Moving into next week and beyond, the Met Office hinted at a more changeable period as low pressure brings a mix of showers and longer spells of rain as well as some sunnier interludes.
The long-range forecast from between April 14 to April 23 said: “There is a low risk of heavier, possibly thundery showers coming into the country from the south for a time early in the period, but confidence in this aspect of the forecast is low and these may well pass to the east.
“This heralds a wetter period through the middle of April with showers or longer spells of rain at times, which could be heavy and thundery in places.
“Strong winds could develop in some areas, particularly the south and west. Temperatures are likely to return closer to normal.”
