Easter Bank Holiday to Enjoy Warmer Weather Return

The UK looks set for milder conditions over the Easter bank holiday weekend. Good Friday falls on April 3 and Easter Monday on April 6.

Outlook from national forecasters

BBC Weather predicts drier-than-usual conditions across much of the country. Temperatures should sit near or slightly above seasonal averages.

Forecasters say the exact warmth depends on where high pressure settles. A more southerly high could encourage south-westerly flows and bring warmer weather.

Short-term change before the weekend

Met Office meteorologist Honor Criswick warned the weather will turn colder from Wednesday. The next couple of days may be wet and windy.

Showers could become heavy, with hail and thunder possible. Modest hills might see small snow accumulations, and ice could form on Tuesday and Wednesday night.

Brisk northerly winds will make temperatures feel lower. Daytime values are forecast around 6 to 10C, with wind chill bringing it closer to low single figures.

Those figures sit below the UK seasonal average of about 11C. The change follows a notably warm day when 22.9C was recorded at Gogerddan, Dyfed.

Local scenes and public plans

Recent sunny spells encouraged crowds in Merseyside and visits to Sefton Park. Daffodils and spring colours have been on display in public spaces.

Many families plan short breaks over the long weekend. From Easter Bank Holiday to enjoy warmer weather return, people will be hoping for blue skies.

What to expect for the holiday

BBC forecasters expect below-average precipitation for most areas across Easter. That raises the chance of dry, pleasant days for outdoor activities.

Travelers heading to coastal towns or booking last-minute trips may see improved conditions. However, short-term showers and chilly nights remain possible.
