East Anglia has already seen nearly half the normal amount of sunshine for March in just the first six days!
The sun's strength is ramping up in the UK! ☀️ We're now approaching the upper level of 2 on the UV index, which is considered low. Level 3 is classed as moderate and it's often advised we should consider wearing sun screen Here's today's UV reading from the University of Reading

Something you don’t see every day. People in Upware, Cambridgeshire were ice skating on Sunday after five consecutive days of temperatures being below freezing! 🥶 This is a controlled environment where the ice is 4 inches thick - awesome! 📹 Elizabeth Swan #iceskating #iceskatingfun
🥶 We've some cold chilly nights to come leading to a severe frost in places. These are the expected rural overnight lows for the coming nights for the ITV Anglia region. Thursday night is likely to be the coldest night of the winter so far
What a contrast in temperatures to start today. That colder air will spread eastwards through today as the rain and cloud clears up. Keep that woolly pulley to hand this week 🥶
