The Met Office is also predicting the return of wintery weather by next week.
In its long-range forecast lasting until Valentine’s Day, the UK’s national weather service claimed: “There is a chance colder conditions could then start to feature slightly more widely during the second week of February, with increased chance of wintry weather across northern parts of the UK.
“Cloud and rain being pushed in from the Atlantic may well be forced to track further south across the south of the country where it may remain milder.
“However, confidence is fairly low in this period.”
