Some areas of the UK could be basking in unseasonably warm weather this weekend – but it won’t last long.
After a week that saw Storm Barra leave large areas left without power, temperatures are set to reach 14C on Sunday in some parts.
🌡️ Following a #cold day on Friday, #mild air is on the way for the weekend thanks to a shift in wind direction

Saturday will start mainly fine, if frosty for many, but wind and rain will move in from the west bringing milder conditions.
Saturday night looks mild, especially across England and Wales.
Sunday will bring more rain, mainly to the west, but it will stay mild, perhaps turning very mild in the south.
Severe gales are possible in northern Scotland on Sunday night.
However, the mild weather won’t last for long with storms and cold weather returning in the lead up to Christmas.
