With much of the UK experiencing an unusually warm and dry March, our photographer Jack Babington has been out taking lovely photos of the city.

In places across the UK, the Met Office issued a wildfires alert due to the unseasonable heat.

As many look forward to a sunny and warm week ahead, the first week of April looks set to follow in the theme of meteorological spring so far: dry, warm and sunny.

Provisional Met Office statistics show that England enjoyed its sunniest March since records began in 1910, with many individual counties also topping their sunshine duration records. It was also the UK’s third sunniest March on record, and Wales’ second.

It was also a very dry month, with only Scotland recording more than half of its meteorological average rainfall.

The London Fire Brigade has also warned that the current conditions could lead to an increased risk of wildfires in parks, forests, and dry grasslands.
