Looking ahead to the start of the week, the Met Office predicts it will largely be cloudy on Monday, March 1 and Tuesday, March 2 – meaning that people should make the most of the weekend’s sunny spells.

Temperatures are also expected to drop, with highs of 8C on Monday and just 7C on Tuesday, a far cry from the unseasonably warm weather of the previous week.

In a statement online, the Met Office said: "It will often be cloudy, especially along the coast where patchy mist and fog could arrive, but still some sunny spells will develop, particularly inland.

"Temperatures remaining near average.”
