A wintry snap is expected to settle in next week, with experts warning of cold northerly winds and heavy downpours.

Temperatures are also likely to fall as low as six degrees centigrade (42 F) with the unsettled weather lasting until at least Good Friday or Easter Saturday.

Unsettled weather is expected to last until at least Good Friday or Easter Saturday

Snow is also expected in the Scottish highlands and across hills in the north of England.

But there is some hope for those wishing to make the most of the long weekend.

Forecasters say conditions may improve on Easter Sunday, although it is likely to remain cold.

The best weather is expected in the south west, where there will be some chance of sunshine.
