The drizzle, low cloud and chilly temperatures of the weekend and the northerly winds, which had brought frosts and snow showers at the beginning of April briefly disappeared. The temperatures jumped to within a whisker of 20C (68F) in some parts of the British Isles as the early-morning cloud lifted to produce sunshine from the Needles to Dounreay.
