Today Tuesday, April 23 it's a miserably cold day for spring with highs of just 11C and lows of a dreadful 4C. Wednesday is looking pretty similar but thankfully it's the lowest point in the next two weeks.
From Thursday the only way is up for the temperature, and all three weather services seem to agree. Even though there is some rain due there's still something to celebrate with the return of warmer weather.
BBC Weather
The BBC is pretty optimistic about the next week of weather. While they say this weekend will be a bit rainy with highs of 14C and low of 9C on Saturday and highs of 15C and lows of 8C on Sunday, it's a turning point in terms of weather.
On Saturday, they predict it will rain throughout the day with a 70 per cent chance from 11am till 7pm. Sunday is a similar story with rain starting a bit earlier with a small hiatus and then returning to a 70 per cent chance.
Monday, often dreaded by workers and students alike, is the day we should all look forward to as there is not forecast to be any rain all day with amazing highs of 17C in the mid-afternoon and lows of 7C. The evening will be filled with uninterrupted sun from 6pm until 8pm too.
Temperatures still climb from Tuesday to Friday with highs not dropping below 17C, the warmest of these days being Thursday with highs of 17C and lows of 11C. Sadly these days will also be speckled with passing showers but also with clouded sun as well.
By the next weekend, the rain is due to have eased and on Saturday it's due to stick with the highs of 17C and lows of 9C with mostly cloudy weather but with some rays shining through.
Next Sunday is going to be lovely, the BBC say, with perfect sunny weather in the morning from 6am until 1pm with beautiful sun and clouds for the rest of the day. This will be the hottest day of the week with highs of 18C and lows of 9C. The Monday after continues the warming trend with highs of 19C and lows of 11C with gorgeous sunny weather.
Accuweather
Accuweather shares the BBC's optimism. It too says that this week will be more building towards next week, agreeing that Wednesday will be the coldest out of the two weeks with highs of 11C and lows of just 4C.
However, it does not predict this week will be as rainy as the BBC...
