The Met Office predicts that there will be a foggy start to the day on Thursday. By the afternoon temperatures are set to reach 17C, although it will remain cloudy.
On Good Friday we can expect similar temperatures and there even be a break in the clouds towards the end of the afternoon. Highs of 18C are forecast on Saturday, with sunny intervals predicted throughout the day.
Sunday is set to be cloudy and mild, reaching 17C, with sunny intervals predicted by the early evening. Bank Holiday Monday is expected to see similar conditions, with sunny intervals in the morning but a cloudy afternoon.
Across the UK the Met Office predicts a split in the weather between the north west and the south at the start of the week, with more unsettled weather in the north while the south will experience temperatures in the ‘low 20s’.
Dan Rudman, Deputy Chief Meteorologist, said: “It’s bit of a mixed picture as far as weather is concerned over the long Easter weekend, although feeling warm in places, at least early in the weekend. A low pressure system to the north west of the UK will bring unsettled weather to the north with some strong winds likely and rain in the north west, which could impact driving conditions for some.
“However, further south it will be drier, especially in the southeast, although there will be varying amounts of cloud. Temperature are likely to be above average for the time of year, although low cloud might keep temperatures lower in coastal areas.”
