Great Britain is set for a spell of sustained mild weather in the build-up for a warmer Easter weekend as the UK looks to shrugs off a miserable March.
Last month, England recorded its wettest March in more than 40 years after 111.3mm of rain fell - 91 per cent more than average.
According to Met Office figures, Wales and Northern Ireland also had one of their top 10 wettest Marches on record, but Scotland's rainfall was only 3% above average at 128.7mm.
