TEMPERATURES in Tynedale will climb into the mid teens by the end of this week, according to the Met Office.
A combination of high pressure and milder, southerly winds means temperatures will gradually rise day by day to around 13 to 14 °C on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Steve Willington, said: "By the weekend we could see temperatures almost 10 degrees higher than what we might normally expect at this time of year, so there will certainly be a spring-like feel in the air across the country.
"North-western parts of the UK will be wet and windy at times this week, but settled conditions will spread to all parts of the country by the weekend, bringing plenty of sunshine and unseasonably mild temperatures that could well compete with current February temperature records."
The current record maximum temperature for February is 19.7 °C, set in London on 13 February 1998.
