The forecaster said a “mobile Atlantic regime” looks set to dominate later this week, with areas of low pressure bringing rain and “blustery” conditions at times. Although there is still a degree of uncertainty for Good Friday, current indications suggest it will be a windy day with strong winds and gales on western and northwestern coasts. On Saturday night, rain will give way to clear spells and scattered showers, mainly in the west and northwest. Although there is uncertainty in the forecast, it looks like Easter Sunday will be “cool and blustery” with sunny spells and scattered showers, it said. Dry weather, including sunny spells, will follow.
