The clocks have wound forward, the cherry blossoms are out, daffodils have sprouted and spring is finally in full swing. After a few isolated days of warm sunshine earlier in the month, on the whole London has remained grey and chilly and is yet to enjoy a an extended period of balmy weather. Could that change for the long Easter weekend?
The Easter weekend falls two weeks earlier than it did last year, so don’t expect it to be quite as warm. While the weather in London isn’t looking terrible, it’ll be best to make sure you’ve got at least some indoor plans lined up.
Here’s your guide to the current weather forecast for the long weekend, according to the Met Office and BBC Weather.
London Easter Bank Holiday 2025 weather forecast
Right now it’s looking, well, meh. At the time of writing, the Met Office says that Good Friday (April 3) will be cloudy most of the day and reach a high of 13C. It predicts that there will also be patchy rain from 4pm that’ll last until the early hours of the next morning. Saturday (April 4) looks much the same, with a high of 14C and drizzle throughout the day.
The forecaster predicts a 40 percent chance of rain on Easter Sunday (April 5) and a temperature that feels around 9C. It hasn’t revealed a detailed forecast for Easter Monday (April 6) yet.
