Lighter nights. First step of easing lockdown tomorrow. Mini heatwave on the way next week. Just a week until the day where we eat copious amounts chocolate.

It’s been a long old winter but we’re nearly there people 💛
Chief Meteorologist from the MET Office, Steve Ramsdale, said: “The UK will see a few days of notably warm weather to end-March, with a maximum of 24°C on Wednesday in the south and east of England.
"There will also be plenty of sunshine across England and Wales however parts of Scotland will see some persistent rain over the next couple of days.
“Conditions will start to change through the day on Thursday as cooler air moves in from the northeast, highs will fall to the mid-teens before falling further by Friday, especially along the east coast.
"With pressure building from the north however, conditions are expected to remain dry for the majority.
"Through Sunday an even colder pool of air will start to push in across the UK from the northwest, bringing a notable change to temperatures compared to the start of the week.
"This also brings a move towards more unsettled conditions with stronger winds and the chance of some wintry showers.”
