Sunny and warm, with rain to the west

Weather map dated Tue 03.03 showing mostly clear skies and sunshine across the UK and Ireland, with light cloud to the west and small patches of rain near southern England and the Low Countries.

Largely sunny conditions with only patchy rain to start.

The outlook for the week is looking sunny and warm for much of the UK, although for Ireland it remains somewhat changeable with strong winds.

Patchy rain does move in to the west in the coming days, but for many it will be a good start to spring with plenty of sunshine and temperatures climbing once again.

It's still cooler in Ireland, with temperatures dropping overnight bringing another frosty start to Tuesday.

More significant rainfall moves into Ireland for Thursday thanks to a frontal system arriving from the Atlantic after a cloudy Wednesday.

Following this band of rain, skies clear once again though the day as a whole sees strong gusting winds.
