The mercury soared to the new high in St James’s Park in central London on Good Friday afternoon, the Met Office said, with temperatures predicted to rise further. Met Office meteorologist Steven Keates had said: “It’s looking like Friday will be the warmest day of the year with highs of 22 to 23C, probably most likely in London.” “The current highest temperature is 20.8C which was recorded in two places – St James’s Park in London on March 23 and Treknow in Cornwall on March 25, so we should beat that tomorrow. “Widely, it will be quite a warm day.” Mr Keates said, although there may not be uninterrupted blue skies, most areas of the UK would enjoy sunny spells and high temperatures. “So if you’re going to be outside for a long time, stick on the sunscreen and protect yourself basically as there’s a slightly elevated risk of sunburn.” Mr Keates said that some coastal areas may experience “misty and murky” conditions caused by cloud earlier in the day but a lot of areas would be “bright if not sunny”.
