Many parts of the UK are set to see a soar in temperatures this weekend.

However, warm weather has promoted a fresh health warning by the Government, including Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

North Wales is expected to see temperatures as high as 18C on Sunday, accompanied by bright, sunny skies.

The Met Office expects that, on Saturday, most places throughout the region will be dry with patchy cloud and some sunshine.

It will feel “warmer than recently, though turning windy in the west.”

“Sunday dry for many with warm sunshine in the east,” the forecaster adds.

Boris Johnson has urged people to resist the "temptation" to break coronavirus lockdown rules should the weather hot up this weekend.

The Prime Minister said he understood "everybody may be getting a bit stir crazy", particularly if they have children in the house, and people may want to "hang out" over the weekend.

However, Mr Johnson, who is continuing to self-isolate after testing positive for Covid-19 last week, warned Britons to "stick with the guidance" in a bid to help ease the pressure on the NHS.

Mr Johnson, in a video released on social media, said: "I just want to say one crucial thing, one quick thing to everybody thinking about this weekend and what may be some fine weather.

"I reckon a lot of people will be starting to think that this is all going on for quite a long time and would rather be getting out there, particularly if you've got kids in the household, everybody may be getting a bit stir crazy, and there may be just a temptation to get out there, hang out and start to break the regulations.

"I just urge you not to do that. Please, please stick with the guidance now.

"This country has made a huge effort, a huge sacrifice, done absolutely brilliantly well in delaying the spread of the virus.

"Let's stick with it now - remember that incredible clapping again last night for our fantastic NHS. We're doing it to protect them and to save lives."

Current government guidance is to only leave the house for very limited purposes, which are:

  • shopping for basic necessities, for example food and medicine, which must be as infrequent as possible.
  • one form of exercise a day, for example a run, walk, or cycle - alone or with members of your household.
  • any medical need, including to donate blood, avoid or escape risk of injury or harm, or to provide care or to help a vulnerable person.
  • travelling for work purposes, but only where you cannot work from home.
