The Met Office forecasts the sunshine and warmth to last until Sunday – with temperatures nosediving on Monday back to a maximum of 11C.

The weather will also turn cloudier.

The Met Office believes a return to wintry weather can’t be ruled out up to April 4 in the UK.

The forecaster says: “It will be largely dry for most, especially in the south and west, though some showers, possibly wintry, are likely in the north and east.”
