Yorkshire weather in Easter: What will the weather be like in Yorkshire over Easter weekend? Forecast for the region ahead of Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday

Following a mostly fine and settled start to the week, there is expected to be some more unsettled weather followed by a drier, brighter end to the week. Met Office meteorologist, Paul Gundersen, said: “The week will start off mostly fine, with temperatures reaching the low to mid-teens for most, while the nights will be cold with a chance of some overnight frost in places.

“The weather will be breezier and cloudier in parts of the northwest with some patchy light rain at times.” Bright, clear spells and light winds are expected by the start of the Easter break as well as drier conditions.

Deputy chief meteorologist, Helen Caughey, said: “Although there will be some chilly nights it will be pleasant by day with sunny spells and some light winds, though on paper temperatures will be around average for the time of year.

“While there is still some uncertainty in the detailed forecast for Easter Sunday and Monday, the general trend is for fine weather in the south and east while it looks like it could turn more unsettled in the north and west. Fairly typical spring weather for us.

“The best thing you can do if you’ve got outdoor plans is make sure you’re always using the most up to date forecast.”
