The glorious Easter weekend will be a thing of the past when Britain swaps sunshine for heavy rain and gales over the course of next week.
The UK has been hotter than many of Europe's tourist hotspots such as Rome, Marseille and Monaco over the weekend as Britons soaked up the sun at parks, beaches and beauty spots.
Temperatures on Easter Sunday had been expected to top this year’s record of 17.8C but instead fell just half a degree short as the mercury rose to 17.3C in Chertsey, Surrey.
