Forecaster Marco Petagna added that the UK was "holding onto" fine weather on Sunday. Commenting on conditions next week, he added: “It's wet and windy around the middle of the week.

“Temperatures are expected to trend close to average, although some overnight frosts are still possible, mainly in northern parts of the country. By night it will be below freezing in some parts. A little bit disappointing throughout the south with highs of seven or eight degrees."

Going into Thursday and later on into next week, the Met Office added: “It is remaining unsettled for most on Thursday with frequent blustery showers, winds could reach severe gale around some coasts with gales also possible inland. The unsettled theme is then likely to remain through the following weekend with further spells of rain and showers.”
