It is expected to remain dry and bright during the week although temperatures slowly slip and overnight frosts are likely to persist.
Meteorologist Greg Dewhurst, of the Met Office, said: “This week we’re going to keep high pressure just to the east of the UK and that means it will be largely dry and settled with plenty of sunny spells.
A longtime Met Office meteorological forecast points to “dry and settled conditions” continuing into March, especially in the South.
In its three-month Outlook for Communities and Local Government, the Met Office said: “The chance of a warm spring is much higher than normal.”
