Temperatures in 13 different locations across East Anglia, Lincolnshire, and Cambridgeshire regions are expected to reach up to 20C this weekend, according to forecasts from the Met Office. This year's hottest day so far is predicted to arrive over the weekend, with balmy 21C temperatures forecast for around 1pm on Saturday, April 6th.
The Met Office's forecast predicts a changeable weather pattern this weekend stating: "Rain clearing to sunshine and showers on Saturday. Very windy, with gales in places. Another day of sunshine and blustery showers on Sunday. Some more general rain possible on Monday."
However, the first weekend of warm weather seems to be on the horizon for the UK, with temperatures potentially rising above 20C for the first time this year, particularly in parts of East Anglia and Southeast England, where it could reach 21C or 22C on Saturday, reports the Mirror.

Thetford, Ely, Sudbury, Chelmsford, Cromer, Hull, Lincoln, Louth, Boston, Norwich, Peterborough, Cambridge, and Rochester are all set to experience conditions of 20C or higher this weekend.
While uncertainty looms over next week's weather, there's a solid chance of more rainfall up North. However, the South of England could see more stable weather, especially during the latter half of the week as temperatures climb slightly above the usual averages, Birmingham Live reports.
Meanwhile, other parts of the UK could face hurricane-force winds this weekend as Storm Kathleen looms. The Ventusky wind weather map reveals in vivid detail that winds as high as 89mph could batter some regions of the UK, with Northern Ireland and the West coast of Scotland appearing as the darkest areas and therefore the most at risk. Patches of varying shades illustrate how Kathleen's impact will differ across the country, with the west coast being the most vulnerable.
The rain map also indicates that much of the UK should brace for showers over the weekend, with thunderstorms predicted to strike large swathes of Wales, the North west of England and the South of Scotland. The Met Office has now officially issued three yellow weather warnings over the next two days as a low-pressure system sweeps the country - ushering in strong winds, heavy rain and even snow in some parts of Scotland.
