Warm to cold for Easter?

During Tuesday a band of wet weather pushes down across Scotland and Northern Ireland. England and Wales should stay dry and it will be exceptionally mild. Temperatures possibly reach 22C (72F) in sunny spells making it the warmest day of the year so far.

Through Wednesday outbreaks of rain spread southwards and they reach central areas in the afternoon. To the north much colder conditions develop and showers start to turn wintry. In southern counties it will be another very mild or even warm day.

During the rest of the week high pressure builds to the west. That leads to the likelihood of cold air moving southwards over the UK. The risk of sleet or snow could return in time for the Easter weekend.
