Exeter woke up to a bright and sunny first day of the Easter Bank Holiday this morning - and the good news is that the clear weather is expected to continue across the weekend. Following weeks of rain, snow and cold winds the sun is likely to shine for the next few days. The Met Office has predicted sunny spells across Devon, with temperatures reaching 7C on Saturday. Met Office spokesman Sarah Holland said: 'There will be an east and west split, as there will be some showers along the east coast of the country - but nothing like the last few days. 'The sunniest weather will be across the west and north west of the country. 'Because there is a band of high pressure over the UK, we will have more settled weather conditions.' This March is set to be the coldest in the UK since 1962, weather experts said yesterday. Statistics from the Met Office showed that from March 1 to 26 the UK mean temperature was 2.5C (36.5F), which is three degrees below the long-term average. This made it the joint fourth coldest in the UK, in records going back to 1910. The Met Office said this March was likely to be the fourth coldest on record for England, joint third coldest for Wales, joint eighth coldest for Scotland and sixth coldest for Northern Ireland.
