It should be safe to put on your summer tyres – the recent warm weather is stabilizing and should be here to stay, according to meteorologists.
Friday may be a little cooler – but that won’t change the long-term trend to warmer spring like weather.
Forecasters say an anticyclone is bringing warm air up from Africa, which is also sucking up more Sahara sand.
But it’s not that unusual, February 2019 was similarly warm.
March should also be warm and dry – certainly for the first two weeks of the month.
While the chance of any snow down to the plain is probably finished for the season – weather watchers say don’t panic if you like skiing. There’s always spring snow in the mountains.
Meteorological spring starts on Sunday.
