More erratic weather is expected to hit most of Britain from Monday to Wednesday, with heavy rain and wind. “This is the difficulty with spring and its peaks and troughs,” Mr Partridge said. The icy weather this month comes after the United Kingdom experienced the sunniest March since 1929. Northern Ireland had 90% more sunshine than the average for the month, with a total of 192.5 hours of sunshine. Scotland saw 64 percent more sun than usual, with a total of 160.1 hours, while England enjoyed the sunniest March at 168.1 hours and Wales the fifth brightest with 157.9 hours.
