On what could be the warmest day of the year so far, weather forecasters predict the United Kingdom could be warmer than the islands of Santorini, Mykonos, and Crete, where many have traveled for the Easter holidays. The bank holiday, however, will conclude with rain.
Santorini, Mykonos, and Crete, where many people have travelled for Easter, may enjoy warmer temperatures.

The Met Office stated that the movement of high pressure across the country was “timed perfectly.”
However, UV levels are comparable to “late summer,” making sunburn likely.
Craig Snell, a forecaster with the Met Office, stated that the majority of the United Kingdom will experience reasonable weather.
Mr. Snell projected that Northern Ireland will be the only region to alter weather, becoming gusty, gloomy, and finally wet.
It will be warm and sunny with a high of 18 degrees Celsius.
The hottest temperature of 2023 was 17.8 degrees Celsius in Santon Downham, Suffolk, on March 30.
According to the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA), approximately two million British tourists traveled abroad over the Easter bank holiday weekend.
However, those returning home the following week can anticipate a wet welcome, as inclement weather is likely to persist on Easter Monday and throughout the week.
Easter Monday rainfall
Mr. Snell warned that the upcoming week would be “wet and windy.”
“Monday will be the day of transition, as low pressure begins to dominate the landscape.
It’s a good day to stay indoors and do whatever you’d like because of the rain.
Met Office chief meteorologist Jason Kelly added, “On Sunday afternoon, the dry, settled, and in some locations, warm conditions will give way to a more unsettled pattern.
First in Northern Ireland and Scotland, Sunday afternoon rain will be replaced by windy showers overnight and into Monday.
The Met Office predicts that a low-pressure system will bring a “sustained period of wet and windy weather” from Tuesday through Wednesday, with the potential for torrential rainfall and even snow – although this will likely be limited to high ground in the north of the United Kingdom.
Winds could reach 70 mph and rain 40 mm in exposed upland or coastal areas, although the forecast is uncertain.
