Saturday is expected to be much the same with plenty of sunny intervals and highs of 14C before the pleasant weather breaks on Sunday evening to make way for rain showers on Easter Monday.
David Oliver, a Met Office Deputy Chief forecaster, said: “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.”
