Easter Sunday starts with patchy rain in northern England and Northern Ireland. Elsewhere it is dry. Through the day cloud builds and heavy showers breakout across Wales and central England. Areas to the south of London should remain dry with sunny periods. Much of the north will be dry, however in central and northern Scotland there will be showery rain. Over high ground snow is possible.

Temperatures range from 7C (45F) in the far north to a very warm 25C (77F) in the south. See the rain radar for the latest view.

Easter weather prospects


Bank Holiday Monday starts cloudy in the south but it should brighten up through the morning. Central and northern regions have sunny spells.  It will be a lot cooler than recently with afternoon temperatures about 10C lower than in recent days. A keen northeasterly wind in the south adds to the chill.

Risk of rain in the south

Tuesday and Wednesday are looking dry with sunny spells and variable amounts of cloud. Temperatures recover and it could turn quite warm again.

By Thursday low pressure begins to approach from the southwest. It leads to an increasing  risk of rain in southern counties. Central and northern regions remain dry and bright. 

At this stage forecast details for Friday and the weekend are uncertain. The risk of rain in the south probably begins to diminish again as high pressure to the northeast reasserts itself. Central and western areas are likely to be quite warm but eastern counties remain cooler.
