The Met Office forecast for the North West said: "Showers and longer spells of rain on Thursday, but turning drier and brighter later. Mostly dry with sunny spells on Good Friday and Saturday, although breezier later. Temperatures around average."
Deputy Chief Meteorologist Helen Caughey said: “It will be drier by the start of the Easter break, with bright, clear spells and light winds in most places.
“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.”
Helen added: “ 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.”
