It will feel like spring has finally arrived this weekend as UK temperatures could soar to 17C.

According to the Mirror, Britain will be hotter than many parts of the Mediterranean, with Athens predicted to see 14C an Istanbul 10C.

And the Standard reports that the weekend is likely to also be the warmest of the year so far.

So why are we heating up? The Met Office told the paper: "It's all to do with the type of air mass. A tropical maritime air mass will make it feel warmer. This air mass originates from the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean between the Azores and Bermuda.

"This is a mild air stream and during the winter months it can raise the air temperature several degrees above the average."
