The first day of astronomical spring in 2022 is less than a week away on Sunday, March 20, although by the meteorological calendar, the season began on the first day of March.

People in Suffolk can certainly look forward to a pleasant week of weather, with sunny spells and temperatures of 10-12C (50-55F).
