And, with the exception of a few spots of rain and gusty winds over the next few days, the sunshine looks set to stick around for a little longer.

That's not quite the case for our fellow Brits up in northern parts of the UK, however, as they prepare for Storm Corrie, continued cloud and rain - pretty wintry weather overall.
Northern parts of the UK also have flood alerts in place - a further 12 flood warnings had been removed from the Environment Agency's site in the past 24 hours.
