Polar air is set to make a return this week, replacing the milder tropical air that brought temperatures of 15C to parts of the country over the weekend.

Some areas were warmer than Spain as the Met Office confirmed it was the warmest day of 2018 so far on Sunday.

However, colder polar air from the north will take over this week, meaning a drop in temperatures.
