SPRING is set to be warmer than average this season, according to seasonal computer models and recent climatology reports.
Current predictions suggest the second half of March’s cold weather will be close to the 30 year average but indications that it will be much drier than average.
April and May are expected to bring some warm spells, so Brits might be in for a Spring full of sunshine.
The forecast came as weary Brits basked in 14C sunshine today as a wave of balmy weather continued to sweep across the nation.
Crowds flocked to parks yesterday to enjoy similar temperatures as sunny spells across the UK marked the official start of Spring.
People made the most of the brighter weather after a miserably cold winter meant they were stuck inside – enjoying the Spring Equinox , the first day of the season.
But some areas experienced cloud in parts over the weekend with a few light showers too, according to the Met Office.
However, more dry and sunny weather is expected over the Easter weekend – and Brits will be able to meet outdoors in groups of six by then too.
Temperatures could be around the 12C mark, about average for the time of year and conditions will remain dry, according to the long-range forecast from the Met Office.
