London set to be as hot as Ibiza and Corfu for first official day of spring
Briefly

On the first official day of spring, London is expected to reach 17C, making it as warm as Ibiza, while southern England could even reach 19C. This is significantly warmer than the seasonal average of 9C and is attributed to a large area of high pressure promoting dry, sunny weather. Although the week's beginning will feel chilly with overnight frost, temperatures will rise significantly midweek, introducing pleasant spring-like conditions across southern England and Wales, leaving only northern Scotland with colder weather.
London is set to reach 17C on the spring equinox, matching Ibiza's temperatures, while southern England could even hit 19C, significantly warmer than average.
Met Office meteorologist Becky Mitchell noted that the warm weather is due to high pressure, which typically brings dry and sunny conditions across southern UK.
