Met Office forecasters are expecting a cold but dry start to the day, with some sunny spells and temperatures around the 6°C mark.

Temperatures are predicted to rise above what we have been experiencing during the recent cold snap and hit double figures, with daily highs of 10°C as the sunny weather looks set to continue throughout the day.
