Meteorologists at the Exeter-based Met Office are forecasting high pressure for much of the Bank Holiday weekend across the UK, which means a good deal of dry weather, along with light winds.
Forecasters say that the Easter break is likely to start on rather a cloudy and damp note, with a frontal system sweeping outbreaks of rain across the country on Good Friday.
