Met Office says temperatures will be normal, though showers are possible.
The forthcoming Easter holiday weather looks promising, with Good Friday and Saturday forecast to be largely fine and dry, according to the Met Office.
There should be bright or sunny spells and light winds over the weekend, the forecasters say, adding that it could be perhaps cloudier on Sunday, with some showery rain possible. Temperatures will be near normal for the time of year – around 11 to 15 degrees C.
Looking further ahead and into next week, the Met Office said ‘mainly unsettled conditions are likely across the UK at the start of this period’.
Showers or longer spells of rain are probable across many regions, these heavy at times with a risk of hail and thunder, perhaps accompanied by strong winds. Some drier and brighter interludes are also likely at times, but probably with large amounts of cloud.
Temperatures will generally be near average. Later next week and into the following week, settled weather is expected to become more prevalent, with more in the way of dry, sunny weather developing. Temperatures will probably be around or slightly above average.
