Britain could enjoy its warmest New Year’s Eve and New Year since records were first established, with parts of the country expected to be warmer than Madrid and the French Riviera, with peaks of 16C in the coming days.

The meteorologist added that despite the fact that people will see changes in weather between late December and the start of January, the temperatures will not turn out to be below average.

A maximum temperature recorded on New Year’s Eve in the UK in 2011 was in Colwyn Bay in North Wales.

Mild and windy on Saturday with intermittent rainfall moving to the north-west.
