Yesterday (March 1), was the first day of spring in the meteorological calendar, running from start March 1 and ending on May 31.
According to the Met Office, the sun is high in the sky during spring meaning temperatures can rise in the day, but stay cool at night due to the moderating effect of the ocean temperature.
Locals have been enjoying a recent uptick in weather after a stormy and at times snowy start to 2025.
