Weather conditions are expected to be more changeable for the start of April next week, with outbreaks of rain or showers looks more likely.

A spokesman for The Weather Channel said: “Temperatures should stay above normal this week lifting into the mid-high teens but we are expecting a dip around Sunday in a northerly flow.

“We are currently expecting temperatures slightly below normal in a northwesterly through the first week of April but confidence drops after that.”
