What's the weather forecast for March?
Early March weather
According to the Met Office experts, March is bringing us a mix of weather conditions.
To start off the month, people living in the UK, and especially in London, will see much dryer conditions.

The Met Office says: "Much of this period looks like being largely dominated by high pressure, especially towards the south or southeast of the UK. This will mean many places seeing plenty of dry weather with variable cloud amounts and some sunshine, the best of this towards the south or southeast."
They added temperatures will be higher than normal for this time of year.
However, away from the capital, conditions will bring some rain and strong winds and there's still a strong chance of overnight frost.
Mid March weather
As we move through the month, forecasters are predicting the weather will become more changeable.
With the northwest facing most of the rain, the southeast will also see spells of rain and strong winds. Temperatures will remain chilly as they stay normal for this time of year.
End of March weather
At the moment, this is too far away to predict accurately but they have said: "Some drier, clearer interludes are likely between frontal systems, but these are likely to be short-lived. Temperatures are likely to be near or slightly above normal overall."
