Dry and warm Easter for most of Britain

Temperatures will continue to push well into the 20s Celsius in inland areas of England, Wales and western Scotland

A fine Easter is expected in many parts of the country as dry and warm weather continues through the coming week, forecasters said yesterday. Temperatures will continue to push well into the 20s Celsius in inland areas of England, Wales and western Scotland, and a few spots, most likely in the south-east, will top 25C. However, towards the coasts of north-east England and eastern Scotland it will be markedly cooler, and occasionally rather grey and misty. Easter Monday looks like being not quite as warm, then a gradual cooling can be expected next week, but still above normal for late April in many areas.
