UK's weather forecast

Parts of England will be hotter than Barcelona and Rome during the highs - and according to the Met Office it will feel "especially warm" coming so soon after the dramatic cold snap earlier in the month. The warmer weather will mark the first signs of spring after an especially bleak winter blighted by lockdown restrictions and some of the coldest days the UK has suffered in decades.

Met Office spokesperson Oli Claydon said "A few days of milder temperatures are forecast... It will be a noticeable change from what we've had in recent weeks."

Highs of 17C are unusual for February and are even considerably above the May average, which is 14.8C for the UK overall and 15.8C for England, The Sun reported.

Thursday morning will be mostly fine, but the still windy North West can expect blustery showers, while central and southern England will be cloudy with a little patchy rain, Sky News reported.

That will become largely confined to East Anglia and the southeast by midday. It will be mild for most, but cooler than today, although with mostly light winds it should feel pleasant enough.

Rain in the South East will clear through the afternoon, with sunny spells developing over many central parts. There will be little change elsewhere, with most places fine into the evening.

Friday looks like being calm, dry and sunny for most, after a foggy start in places, but the Northern Isles will have a wet start. The northwest will see the wind picking up later, ahead of evening rain. It will stay quite mild.

According to The Sun, during the first week of March, many areas of the UK are likely to see a continuation of settled weather. Dry conditions with clear or sunny periods are likely, especially in the south of the UK.

Any unsettled weather with corresponding showers or rain are most likely to occur in the north and northwest of the UK. Strong winds may also affect northern and northwestern areas at times, but elsewhere winds will likely be light and, as a result, fog formation overnight may become more prevalent.

The first week of March will be “dry and relatively calm”, forecasters have said, but more varied weather is expected to hit from March 7 onwards. According to the latest snow risk maps, snow could hit different parts of the UK every day between Sunday 7 March, and Thursday 11 March, Express reported.

Snow could hit over Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern and eastern parts of England. It could also extend further west, particularly over the Welsh mountains.

Snow risk maps from Netweather.tv show a 95-100 percent chance of snow over the Scottish Highlands on March 7. Other parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland may also see significant snow, though the likelihood is reduced.

On March 8, the charts suggest snow will move west into Northern Ireland, Wales and central England, with another snow band hitting the Scottish Highlands.

Netweather.tv maps indicate a 95-100 percent chance of snow over northern Wales and higher areas in Scotland. The following day snow is expected to deluge northern and central England, with Yorkshire and Lancashire likely to be hit. Inclement weather will continue into March 10, according to the snow risk charts, with a 95-100 percent chance of snow over the Scottish Highlands.

There is also a greater than 50 percent chance of snow for Northern Ireland, Wales and northern England. The picture remains similar for March 11 with snowfall expected across much of Scotland and also possible for parts of Wales and northern England.

According to the BBC Weather's long-range forecast, the first week of March should be relatively mild.

On February 26

According to Weather Online, high pressure affects all parts of the UK and Ireland on Friday. There may be some morning mist and fog patches in sheltered areas but these will be clearing quickly.

Temperatures rising to around 10 to 12C.

A few early mist and fog patches in the west steadily clearing. A cloudy morning with some rain across Northern Isles. Otherwise, fine for most places with plenty of sunshine, Met Office reported.

Much of western and central Europe will have sunshine and temperatures in the mid to high teens. Countries in the southeast of Europe will also see some of the warmest weather with temperatures reaching 20C.

Ms Willets said: "The cold air is becoming evermore confined to the western side of Russia and up into Finland and northern Scandinavia. You can still see some snow passing through the likes of Moscow through the start of Thursday. Behind it, temperatures will be rising, having been below freezing and they will be up seven degrees Celsius by Thursday afternoon. That warmth will also be across Poland."
