Wet and windy Easter weekend forecast for Blackpool as conditions set to turn unsettled
Forecasters are warning of a change in conditions ahead of the Easter weekend, with wet and windy weather increasingly likely across parts of the UK, including Blackpool.
The Met Office said the week will start with a mix of sunny spells and showers, before briefly turning milder and more settled, then becoming more unsettled again as the bank holiday approaches.
Temperatures are expected to peak on Tuesday, with highs of around 13C in Blackpool and warmer conditions across the UK.
However, cloud and rain are set to move in midweek, with a more changeable pattern developing.
Looking ahead to Easter, there is a strong signal for low pressure to dominate, bringing spells of rain, some of which could be heavy, along with blustery conditions.
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Steven Keates said: “As we head into Good Friday and Easter Saturday, the weather is expected to turn more unsettled, with spells of rain at times, some of which could be heavy.
“It is also likely to become windy at times across all areas, particularly in exposed north-western locations.”
In Blackpool, conditions are expected to remain mixed through the week, with sunny intervals on Monday, turning overcast on Tuesday and Wednesday, before further rain arrives on Friday and into the weekend.
While some brighter spells are possible, particularly on Thursday and Sunday, the overall outlook suggests a wetter and windier Easter period than many may have hoped for.
