BRITS are looking forward to some sunshine and warm conditions today as temperatures soar to 20C, but there is still rain on the cards for some.

The temperature shift comes days after the UK was battered by Storm Kathleen that left many parts of the country drenched in rain.

But far better weather is now on the cards for many Brits, according to the Met Office.

Forecasters show highs of 20C today in London, making it higher than balmy 17C Dubrovnik and Split in Croatia.

East Anglia, East Midlands and Greater London will experience the best of the weather, say the Met Office.

Residents in Norwich and Ipswich could be enjoying highs of 19C this afternoon.

Meanwhile, Birmingham, Nottingham, Manchester and Sheffield should expect balmy weather with highs of 18C.

However, Met Office maps have revealed that some parts of the country will have to deal with rain despite the largely pleasant weather.

Those living in Cornwall and South Wales appear may have to face rainy conditions.

This morning will see a few lingering showers in the far north-west, but it is otherwise sunny in the northern half of the UK.
