It seems like the Easter bank holiday weekend might be a mixed bag in terms of weather across Europe and the UK, affecting those planning getaways. For those heading to Spain and Portugal, it looks like thunderstorms and strong winds might dampen the holiday spirit.
Specifically, Madrid is set to experience cooler temperatures than London, which is somewhat unusual, with a significant drop in the mercury. This could come as a surprise to those expecting the typically warmer Spanish climate.
The southern part of Spain has already felt the impact of this shift, with rain affecting traditional religious processions. Meanwhile, France isn’t spared either, with forecasts predicting downpours and a noticeable drop in temperatures in Nice.
On a brighter note, if you’re planning a trip to the eastern Mediterranean, you’re in luck. Destinations like Italy and Greece are expected to bask in warm and sunny conditions, making cities like Rome, Palermo, and Athens appealing choices for those seeking sunnier skies. Budapest is also on the list of places enjoying warmer weather, which might make it an attractive alternative.
Back in the UK, the outlook isn’t as cheerful for those considering staycations. The country is bracing for blustery conditions that could lead to flooding in some areas. With rain starting in the south and moving across various parts, including Wales and south-west England, it seems like a cozy indoor weekend might be in order for many.
The Met Office’s deputy chief meteorologist, Mark Sidaway, has indicated that showers will persist into the weekend, especially in southern and western areas. This forecast suggests that travelers and staycationers alike should prepare for a potentially wet and stormy Easter bank holiday weekend, affecting both travel plans and outdoor activities.
