For nearly two weeks now, London has basked in delightful weather. Blue, cloudless skies and toasty afternoons have been the norm – it’s all more than made up for the thoroughly grey winter months.
Kids are already off from school, meaning many Londoners have been out exploring the city’s many thrilling Easter activities for the best part part of a week, from kids’ theatre shows to spring flower displays. For the rest of us, as we lead up to the Easter Bank Holiday weekend and (for most of us) four days off, the big question is… will the weather hold out?
Will Londoners’ 2025 Easter egg hunts be rained off? Here’s what the forecasters are saying.
London Easter Bank Holiday 2025 weather forecast
Obviously it’s still a little early for forecasters to know for sure what the weather will be doing next weekend – and there’s currently a bit of diversity of opinion.
At the mo the Met Office reckons that Good Friday (April 18) will see highs of 16C, but says that there’s a 30 percent change of rain in the middle of the day.
For a wider period of April 15-24, the Met says Brits in general can expect ‘much more mixed weather conditions than of late’ and that ‘unsettled, wet, and occasionally windy conditions are most likely’.
The BBC, meanwhile, currently predicts that Good Friday will see highs of 16C with ‘light rain and a gentle breeze’ and that Saturday (April 19) will hit 15C and also have light rain. The Beeb says Saturday will be a bit windier than Friday.
BBC Weather’s forecast for Easter Sunday (April 20) shows a rainy morning and clearer afternoon (with highs of 17C and clear skies in the evening), while Monday (April 21) will be drizzly and range in temperature from 7C to 17C.
