Liverpool will finally be getting some sunshine this weekend with temperatures predicted to be higher than those in Madrid.

According to BBC weather, temperatures will reach 21c in Liverpool on Saturday and Sunday, which is higher than the 19c forecast for the Spanish capital.

The glorious weather is thanks to an 'African plume' which is making its way across the country.

Forecasters are predicting the UK could be basking in blistering sunshine by the end of May, as an extreme weather front dubbed the 'Africa plume' is likely to sweep across the country – reports the Mirror.

The Met Office's long-range forecast, which covers the period from Tuesday May 23 – Thuesday Jun 1, states that high pressure "will dominate over most of the UK through the first half of this period, with settled conditions for most of the country" and that the predicted warm weather fronts will "bring a good deal of fine and dry weather for the majority of areas".

And it looks like this weekend Liverpool is getting a taste of what is to come with undisturbed sunshine on both Saturday and Sunday.

On Saturday the sun will rise at 5.05am with sun forecast right through up until sunset at 9.13pm.

Temperatures throughout the day will rise from 12c in the morning and will rise to 20c at 3pm and peak at 21c around 4pm.

Sunday is also looking bright with the mercury rising to 20c around 2pm, with sun expected to last right up until 9pm.
