The Met Office reports that because of the very warm air that is blown across some areas of the UK during sunny spells, temperatures in East Anglia can reach 22 degrees Celsius.

The west of the United Kingdom's meteorological office has issued a yellow weather warning for wind on Saturday, spanning from eight in the morning until ten at night. This region includes not just the North and South West of England but also portions of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

Far from that threatening area on Saturday, we could get up to 22C in secluded spots of East Anglia, that would make it the hottest day of the year in that area so far, Met Office meteorologist and Stephen Dixon, the spokeswoman stated the PA news agency.

The air warming being carried up is one of the concerns of Hurricane Kathleen that are being felt still now.

These storm systems frequently carry warmer air with them as they move out.

The highest recorded temperature of the year was 19.9 degrees Celsius at the end of January in Achfary, in the north-west of Scotland.

Mr. Dixon continued, the forecast for Sunday happens to be for showery situations to continue across an important portion of the United Kingdom, mainly in the western and northern regions once more.

Storm Kathleen is expected to bring with it windy and wet conditions on Friday that should last into Saturday.

On Saturday, 50 to 60 miles per hour gusts of the southerly winds are predicted. However, vulnerable areas, particularly in Northern Ireland, should prepare for gusts of up to 70 mph and possibly large waves.
