The Met Office's three-month outlook t says: "Above-average temperatures are more probable than below-average for March to May."

It also predicts: "Below-average rainfall is favoured over above-average in March." We've already had double the usual amount of sunshine hours this month.

A Met Office spokesperson told the Telegraph: "Saturday was the hottest day of the year so far. 17.5C was the warmest temperature across the UK, recorded in Murlough, County Down in Northern Ireland.

"But In England we reached 17.3C at Stanton in Suffolk."

They reckon the nice weather will be here until at least May, so it looks like we're going to need to dust off the BBQs…
