Could it be warm and sunny enough for a picnic or barbecue this weekend?
As we start to feel the full effects of spring the weather will start to warm up into the middle of the month.
With lockdown restrictions easing on Monday, 12 April, we are now allowed to enjoy alfresco dining in pubs, restaurants and cafes.
This week's weather is looking mild and dry with highs of 12C and although this isn't prime barbecue weather, as long as you take a jacket you should be fine dining outside.
