People in the East of England are set to enjoy some unseasonably hot weather this weekend.

BBC Weather Watches have submitted pictures of flowers starting to blossom ahead of 12C (54F) temperatures on Saturday following the long cold winter.

BBC Look East weather presenter Gillian Brown said: "We are expecting our temperatures to be higher than in Greece which is experiencing an unusually cool spell, with temperatures in single figures.

"It is not unusual for temperatures to fluctuate in the UK. Our temperatures are rising because of climate change but we cannot blame climate change for every single weather event," she added.
