UK weather: Rainfall warnings issued as April showers return

Computer weather models have been struggling to make up their minds about the prospects for the Easter weekend.

At the moment it looks like low pressure will approach from the west on Good Friday bringing outbreaks of heavy rain, especially in western parts.

However, it is possible that some eastern areas may stay largely dry.

The rest of the weekend is likely to be mixed with low pressure and high pressure battling for dominance.

Some downpours are likely but there should also be drier interludes and spells of sunshine.

So while it looks unlikely that we will return to the completely dry conditions of early April it does not look like a complete washout either.

If you are making plans for Easter you can always keep up to date with the forecast on the BBC Weather website and app.
