After a very chilly weekend, the weather will at last start to warm up next week, according to forecasters. In fact, some parts of the UK will be basking in temperatures of 20C by Easter Monday.
The spring-like conditions look like finally materialising after a very cold, and at times snowy, March. British Weather Services' senior meteorological consultant, Jim Dale, said the weather will improve gradually and by Easter it could feel like summer.
"There are good signs that this kind of change of fortunes will arrive just in time for Easter," he told the Mirror. "So, as we go through the Easter period, I would expect us to nudge the 20-degree mark in the south and east, and maybe even the north into eastern Scotland."
