North Wales is set to get as hot as Ibiza over the next week.
The region is expected to bask in sunshine with temperatures expected to be above average in the coming days.
Wet and windy weather normally destined for the UK will be diverted towards the Mediterranean with the mercury expected to hit 19C in Rhyl next week.
It will start to get warmer during the weekend with Saturday expected to be warm, dry and sunny with temperatures at around 14C.
But some strong winds and blustery showers are expected to hit North Wales on Sunday before the good weather returns on Monday.
It will be colder than normal in Spain and Portugal next week with a chilly wind depressing temperatures along the Spanish Costas.
While the changeable conditions will be kept away from the UK thanks to an area of low pressure keeping rain over more western areas of Europe.
Holidaymakers heading to the western Mediterranean for some Spring sunshine by the middle of next week will probably find temperatures in the UK warmer than those in holiday hot spots like Majorca and Ibiza, where values will only reach 19C.
While some parts of the UK could see temperatures rise above 20C.
The warmer and sunnier conditions are expected in North Wales on Tuesday and Wednesday with the east of the region enjoying the best of the weather.
But then a deep area of low pressure from the Atlantic, will arrive over western Europe during Thursday bringing a spell of heavy rain with the risk of localised flooding.
A spokesman for The Weather Channel said: “High pressure is expected to become strongly dominant over Europe, reaching maximum effect with mostly sunny and dry weather and gentle winds with well above normal temperatures by next Wednesday.”
