THESE incredible drone pictures show beautiful blue skies over Brighton as the city basks in spring sunshine.

After weeks of chilly and unsettled weather, many people have been hoping for sunshine, lighter nights and milder days.

A high-pressure system moving in means this weekend’s weather forecast is bright with a chance that temperatures could reach the high teens.

Met Office meteorologist Alex Deakin said: “That high pressure looks likely to bring most of us a fine day on Friday and the high could continue to bring us fine weather into the weekend.

“With high pressure sitting right across the UK, that means generally fine and sunny conditions.”
