What weather can Salisbury expect on April 5, the Easter Bank Holiday Monday?
It’s been a pleasant long weekend so far, with plenty of sunshine enabling people to meet up outdoors after lockdown rules eased on March 29 to allow the rule of six or two households to gather.
Monday will be the last hurrah before many of us head back to work – and before the bright weather begins to fade.
Light rain is expected overnight and early on Monday morning.
But this will give way to sunny intervals throughout the morning.
It’s in the latter part of the Bank Holiday afternoon that Salisbury is predicted by the Met Office to see its best weather of the day, however.
Below we run through how the Easter Bank Holiday Monday is expected to play out, according to the Met Office forecast, hour by hour.
We’ll also include a summary of what to expect for the rest of the week.
