BRITAIN will be sizzling as lockdown eases, with 27C temperatures next month – rising to 33C soon after.

The Met Office has started briefing councils and transport chiefs to prepare for heatwaves into June.

A series of hot spells, each lasting up to a week, are expected, The Weather Outlook said.

The good news came as people basked in spring sunshine yesterday.

Sunny spells are due for the early May bank holiday weekend and temperatures of 27C are forecast to cheer millions as lockdown eases on the 17 of the month.
