BRITAIN is to be hotter than Athens tomorrow as the mercury soars to 14C.
The higher temperatures will be seen mostly in central and eastern parts of England during intermittent sunny spells.
And the temperatures will be double those expected to be seen in Athens, Greece. The city is expected to hit 7C.
But the weather tomorrow will largely be unsettled, the Met Office said.
Met Office spokesman Richard Miles told The Sun Online: "The West will be wet and windy which will gradually spread across the country overnight, and then it will be cooler in the west and wetter in the east.
"That's the picture for the next few days. It will be wet and windy over the weekend too.

"But when the sun comes out in central and eastern areas, we will se temperatures creeping up to quite pleasant numbers.
"Anywhere could see double figures while temperatures could go to 14-15C in central and midlands areas.
"The central parts are the most likely areas in the country where temperatures will climb.
"But rain will also move from the west to the east. It will gradually stall over the UK but will continue with longer spells.

Jim Dale, meteorologist for British Weather Services, added: “Continental air will bring a colder start to the week before we see more of an influence from the Atlantic ahead of the weekend.
“This will bring more in the way of rain.
“We are in between winter and spring at the moment with the changes in weather associated with the transition.
“Britain is still the battleground between this colder Continental influence and the milder Atlantic conditions.”
