An area of low pressure parking itself across southern Engl`nd, so

we will see wet itself across southern England, so

we will see wet weather over England. Have a good Easter.

One thing we can be sure about is it won't be as cold as Easter last

year, when we had seems like this, a covering of snow with icicles and

temperatures down to an Easter record of minus 12.5 Celsius. One

year and a couple of weeks on, things look very different. The

first half of the Easter weekend, a lot of dry weather and a lot of warm

and strong sunshine as well. It is the second half of the Easter

weekend when things turn more unsettled, with some rain around. A

few showers today from the belt of cloud that was sweeping south and

the last of that is heading towards the south-west corner of England.

Clearer skies following from the North. A colder night than last

night. We could see a frost in Scotland. A chilly start to Good

Friday. Clear skies will lead to blue skies with a lovely looking day

across most areas, light winds and patchy cloud here and there. Some

cloud on the far north-west of Scotland but away from there, the

rest of Scotland and Northern Ireland should enjoy lots of

sunshine, lighter winds with temperatures a couple of the --

couple of degrees higher than today. Light winds across Wales towards the

south-west and here it will feel very pleasant in the sunshine. Could

get up to 17 or 18. Most of the Southeast and East Anglia, some

patchy, fire with a cloud bubbling up and it will feel a good deal

cooler than today. Away from the cloud and rain, we will also see

some patchy cloud pushing into England and eventually Wales,

perhaps, with one or two showers in the south-east corner of England.

Most places dry with sunshine. As we head into Easter Sunday, this

circulation is heading in with a big change. Some stronger winds, colder

with rain, too, and how far north and west it gets is open to doubt.

Could be an inch of rain, 25 millimetres. At least try for

Scotland and Northern Ireland and those hanging onto some sunshine for

Easter Monday. The low pressure pulling away taking most of the

rain, leaving behind showers and bright sunny spells with
