hello there. good friday was a pretty decent one across the country. plenty of sunshine around. there was still a bit of a chill in the air but i think as we move deeper into the easter weekend, it'll start to warm up as we pick up our air source from the south. it's going to stay dry, plenty of sunshine, then, it's all change for the bank holiday easter monday as this area of low pressure begins to spread across the country. but it's high pressure dominating the scene to start the easter weekend, so a lot of dry weather to begin with. on the chilly side, mind you, but temperatures will rise fairly quickly. cloud across eastern scotland and eastern england will tend to break up and burn back to the coast, so we should be looking at plenty of sunny spells into the afternoon as a little bit of fair weather cloud will bubble up here and there. bit more of a breeze, generally, particularly towards the south and the west. and temperatures a notch up — ranging from 13 to maybe 16 degrees. and then, as we head through saturday night, it stays fine and dry. lengthy clear skies. bit more of a breeze — even more i think,
3:57 am
through saturday night. variable cloud, so i think we should be frost—free to start sunday. another fairly cool one with temperatures of 2—6 celsius. so, for easter sunday, we're looking at this area of low pressure edging further eastwards. it will be affecting northern ireland late in the day. more isobars on the chart, so a windy day to come for many, particularly towards the west. that said, it's another fine one with plenty of sunshine around and ourairsource coming in from the south, so it should feel a little bit warmer. —— we could be up to 17 degrees but generally, in the mid—teens for many, but it will be turning wet and windier for northern ireland and then, that rain pushing into western britain later on sunday. through sunday night into the early part of monday, that band of wind and rain will spread across the uk. it should've cleared by the time we head into easter monday morning but we've got a day of sunshine and showers. some of these showers will be heavy, perhaps thundery, particularly in the north and the west, and it will feel
3:58 am
cooler as well. we could be up to the mid—teens in the south—east, given some sunshine, but generally, we're looking at 10—13 celsius, so noticeably cooler. and then, for this upcoming week, it will remain pretty unsettled with low pressure always nearby. we could even see a risk of gales around the middle part of the week. but you can see the unsettled theme here if i show you the icons and with temperatures just about making double figures, factor in the wind and rain, it'll feel cooler. match what they say but not what they do.
