Herefordshire is set to see a big rise in temperatures this weekend.

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

Temperatures will reach as high as 18C in Herefordshire on Sunday (April 5), according to the Met Office.

The warmth will be accompanied by bright, sunny skies, although will be overcast tomorrow (Saturday) morning.

  • General UK outlook

The Met Office expects that, on Saturday (April 4), most places throughout the UK will be dry with patchy cloud and a “good deal of 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.

 

  • HEALTH WARNING: Coronavirus and staying at home

Last week the Met Office reminded the public to “please remember, despite the sunny weather, during this Coronavirus crisis the Government advice is to only go outside for food, health reasons or work, to stay two metres (6ft) away from other people and to wash your hands regularly.”

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.
