Anyone planning their Easter bank holiday weekend will need to keep a close eye on the weather conditions as the UK faces a changeable few days.

The Met Office has warned that the weather will ‘unsettled’ throughout the weekend, with rain and showers in most regions contrasting with dry and sunny spells elsewhere.

Early next week parts of Scotland are under a yellow warning for rain and snow – but thankfully conditions should improve as we approach the weekend, with no more weather warnings in place for the rest of the week.

And for those hoping to spend their time off from work or school outdoors, it’s good news as temperatures are expected to increase over the weekend.

A Met Office spokesperson explained: ‘The Easter weekend is likely to be unsettled with rain or showers in most regions at times, but also some drier and brighter spells.

‘The heaviest and most frequent showers are more likely to be in southern and western areas.

‘Later in the weekend, there is a chance of northern areas becoming drier with increasing amounts of sunshine.

‘Compared to the coming week, the Easter weekend is likely to be a little warmer.’
