SUN has returned for Boxing Day with clear skies overtaking miserable wind and rain – but it won’t last long.
Most parts of the UK will enjoy a fine day with some decent sunshine and temperatures around the annual average.

But wintry showers will continue to soak the far north of Scotland, with an ice warning in place until 10am this morning.
Wind and rain will also start pushing across the southwest later today, with the sky clouding over tonight after a clear start.
By dawn tomorrow, the cloud and scattered rain will have spread to all parts of the country.
The Met Office has issued five different yellow weather warnings for the UK tomorrow.
Wind will buffet the south coast from 3am until 6pm, sparking travel chaos including for ferry passengers.
There is also a risk of flooding in the southwest until 3pm and in Wales and the north west until 6pm.
Most of Scotland will be covered by a yellow warning for rain and snow between 6am and midnight, with a chance of power cuts and flooding.
It will be a bit brighter on Thursday, with the downpours easing into showers.
Heading into the weekend there will still be some hill snow in the north and wind in the south.
The run-up to the New Year is also likely to be unsettled – a fitting end to a year marred by a summer washout and a punishing winter.
The first week of 2024 will be much the same, with the mercury hovering around the average.
