Londoners look set for an Easter weekend of mixed weather. Temperatures look to be satisfactory, with periods of sunlight throughout.
Blue skies look to be at a premium, however, as cloud cover, forecasters say, will be near constant. As far as rain goes, there will be light precipitation and drizzle for much of the weekend.
Packing an umbrella is therefore advisable. But one day stands out as by far the driest. So, if you have outdoor plans, this may well be the time to do them.
