After an unsettled spell to end the working week, the Easter Bank Holiday weekend will open with a good deal of fine and settled weather.
However, a weather system in the Atlantic is poised to introduce more unsettled conditions by Easter Monday.
Dan Suri is a Met Office Chief Forecaster. He said,
“Ahead of the Bank Holiday weekend, unsettled conditions will see bands of rain – with some heavy bursts in places – moving eastwards through the rest of Wednesday and early Thursday.
“As this clears a mixture of sunshine and showers will prevail for much of Thursday before a more settled pattern establishes for Good Friday and Easter Saturday as high pressure begins to build.”
Oliver: Frontal system expected to move in from the west
David Oliver, a Met Office Deputy Chief forecaster, said,
“Similar conditions are likely for much of the UK on Easter Saturday, but during the second half of the Easter weekend the Atlantic will increasingly exert its influence.
“A frontal system is expected to move in from the west and displace the high pressure lying across the UK. This will spread rain across all areas during the latter part of Easter Sunday and through Easter Monday, although there is some uncertainty regarding its exact timing. Once the rain clears blustery showers are likely to follow in its wake across many areas.”
