Weather forecast

The Easter weekend is set to bring a mini heatwave as temperatures rise above 20C.

Families enjoying the bank holiday break in North Wales are due to enjoy gorgeous conditions with some areas seeing temperatures as high as 22C.

This will be warmer than the weather predicted for holiday destinations such as Lanzarote, Malaga, Crete and Nice, as high pressure from the west brings in warmer air to the UK.
