FROM BASKING IN THE SUN TO SHIVERING IN THE SNOW

Britons enjoying the current spell of unseasonably warm weather are warned they could face snow after the weekend.

A cold front could sweep the country on Monday, bringing possible sleet or snow, forecasters said.
It comes after much of the UK sweltered in temperatures of above 20C (68F) this week.
Clare Allen, a forecaster with MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, said: "At the moment, the models look like there will be a cold front clearing southwards across the country after the weekend. That will carry rain, and the back edge could turn to sleet or snow. There may be wintry showers behind this cold front, but it should be confined to northern hills, including over the Pennines."
Temperatures on Monday could reach 13C (55.4F) or 14C (57.2F) in London, but may be as low as 8C (46.4F) or 9C (48.2F) in Scotland.

Ms Allen stressed that the picture is still uncertain, but said snow at the beginning of April is not unusual.
The warm weather continued on Wednesday with a high of 23.3C (73.94F) in Southampton, equalling a previous March 28 record set in 1965.

High pressure will lead to more sunshine in most areas, with temperatures of up to 19C (66.2F) forecast for London - much higher than the average 10C (50F) or 11C (51.8F) for this time of year. Scotland, north-western areas and Northern Ireland will turn colder overnight and could see drizzle.

Temperatures of 18C (64.4F) are expected in London on Friday, although it will be cooler in Northern Ireland and north-western areas of Scotland.

Ms Allen said: "Saturday it will be feeling a bit cooler. London will see a maximum of 13C (55.4F), which is still good for this time of year. It will generally be cloudy everywhere, with some sunshine breaking through, and patchy drizzle. Beyond that we are a bit uncertain. Temperatures could be 12C (53.6F) or 13C (55.4F) in south England and London, Wales and the Midlands on Sunday."

Fabrice received prolonged resuscitation at the ground and on route to the London Chest Hospital where his heart eventually started working. As is normal medical practice, Fabrice remains anaesthetised in intensive care and will be for at least 24 hours. His condition continues to be closely monitored by the cardiac specialists at the hospital.


Dr Steve Cox, director of screening at the charity Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY), said sport can significantly increase the risk of a cardiac incident if a person has an underlying condition. He said: "CRY wants all young people to be aware of the importance of cardiac screening and to have the opportunity to be tested. We already provide screening services for a number of professional sporting bodies, including the English Institute of Sport, the RFU, RFL, LTA and a number of FA teams including Manchester City.
"One in every 300 of the young people that CRY tests will be identified with a potentially life-threatening condition. Every week in the UK, 12 apparently fit and healthy young people, under the age of 35, die from undiagnosed cardiac conditions. 80% of these deaths will occur with no prior symptoms."

It is interesting to note that CRY do not work with all Premier or Football League clubs, despite all the money that is invested in buying, paying and training professional football players. Perhaps a little of the vast amount of money the professional clubs get from TV rights should be set aside to fund the CRY charity and make sure that every child gets this life saving screening too.
