Join meteorologists Alex and Aidan live from the Met Office studio to discuss today’s spring-like sunshine, warm temperatures, and an exclusive equinox quiz for Kent residents.
The Met Office is hosting a live weather broadcast this afternoon featuring meteorologists Alex and Aidan discussing the expected warmth and duration of sunshine across the UK today. The broadcast begins at 12:15pm and will provide insights into why Friday 20 March is delivering spring-like conditions despite the seasonal transition into the equinox period.
For Kent residents, today is bringing a chilly start with mist and fog patches across the region, but these will lift quickly through the morning, leaving widespread sunshine. Temperatures are expected to reach around 11°C during the afternoon hours, with particularly pleasant conditions across southern areas where highs could touch the mid-teens. The combination of high pressure dominating the weather pattern and southerly influences is creating these unexpectedly warm conditions for late March.
The live studio session will explore how much longer residents can expect this sunny weather to persist. Following the broadcast’s weather discussion, the Met Office team will host a quiz focusing on the spring equinox and related atmospheric phenomena. This is a unique opportunity for weather enthusiasts to learn more about the seasonal shifts affecting UK weather patterns whilst testing their knowledge.
Tonight will see a significant temperature drop with a chilly night forecast, particularly across Kent, where frost may develop in some prone spots as temperatures fall away rapidly after sunset.
