The forecast for Thursday and Friday predicts: "Thursday and Friday will remain dry with light breezes and some warm sunny spells." 

The long term Met Office outlook, which runs through to June, says that there is an "increase in the likelihood of high pressure" over the next three months, which is typically associated with warmer-than-average weather. 

Make the most of the good weather during the week however, as Saturday is expected to be cloudier with some light rain, with a potential cold snap on the way on Sunday night.
