The hottest Easter in at least a century in Britain is keeping this month's temperatures on a pace to break the 2007 record for the warmest April in history. The highest temperature over the weekend was 27.8°C on Saturday at Wisley, in Surrey. In London, the temperature was 27.1°C on Saturday and around 25°C on Sunday, vs. a normal high of 15°C at this time of year.
Over 100,000 people were estimated to have flocked to southern beaches this weekend.
London temperatures this week are forecast to range from a high of 22°C on Monday to a more seasonable 13°C for the Royal Wedding on Friday.
Temperatures in April to date have been well above average over most of Europe, with the highest departures in Spain, France, and Germany.
