After a cold and wet start, there will be a dramatic improvement for later in the week. Monday will be dull with some outbreaks of rain. Some more rain at first on Tuesday but it will dry out with some brighter spells coming through in the afternoon. Temperatures will be on the increase and it will hold dry for the rest of the week. So Wednesday through to Sunday will be fair days just with some high cloud at times especially on Wednesday and Sunday. Buy the weekend we should see temperatures climbing above 20° with winds coming in from the continent. A change then for Easter Monday and next week as winds shift back to the west bringing cooler temperatures and some rain.
