The weather is looking good for the bank holiday weekend as temperatures rise.
Leicester Mercury weatherman Dave Mutton said the frost early on Wednesday morning should prove to be the last of the season.
"We're only two months from the longest day of the year and we've got to have summer some time," he said.
"And it looks like there will be a lot of sunshine around for the bank holiday weekend and it's going to be a little warmer than it's been."
So far every month of 2013 has had below average temperatures but Dave said things could be returning to normal.
He said: "May and June look likely to be very good months.
"After a March that was the coldest in more than 150 years, we had the coldest April since 1989. But we're looking at a lot of improvement from now on.
"There was a frost on Wednesday morning but I doubt we'll have any more - I've putting my bedding plants out in the garden now, which is about a month behind.
"What we really need now is a bit of rain for the farmers."
The prediction for the weekend is for temperatures to climb gradually over Saturday, Sunday and Monday, with likely maximum temperatures rising from 17C (63F) to 20C (68F), according to the Met Office.
Overnight temperatures are now expected to drop below 9C (48F).
Looking further ahead, the Met Office agrees with Dave's prediction for weather returning to the average for the time of the year.
The Met Office predicted "a good deal of dry and bright weather overall" for May.
It added: "Away from coasts, daytime temperatures will most likely recover towards average or slightly above, and it should feel warm in any prolonged spells of sunshine."
