UK Easter Weather Split: North Faces Storm, South Enjoys Beach Days
4 Apr
Summary
- Southern UK to experience up to 19C 'beach day' conditions on Easter Monday.
- Northern UK, Scotland, and Wales to face 90mph winds and heavy rain/snow.
- Warmer weather up to 21C predicted for next week after the Easter weekend.
Southern regions of Britain are poised to enjoy 'beach day' conditions with temperatures around 19C this Easter Monday. This forecast comes despite warnings of severe weather impacting the northern parts of the UK over the bank holiday weekend. Storm Dave is expected to bring 90mph winds, heavy rain, and snow to areas including Northern England, Scotland, and parts of Wales, with weather warnings in effect.
Meteorologists indicate a significant north-south temperature split. While the south anticipates mild, overcast weather with sunny spells and a high of 18C on Monday, the north will bear the brunt of Storm Dave. The storm's intensity will decrease as it travels south, though areas like the Midlands might still experience gusts up to 40mph.
Beyond the Easter weekend, weather forecasts suggest a further rise in temperatures. By Wednesday of the following week, some areas in the UK could see temperatures climbing to 21C, offering a continuation of warmer conditions. The timing of the storm has been highlighted as a particular concern for travelers and those planning outdoor activities during the bank holiday.
