UPDATE: |Greater Manchester Easter weekend weather forecast in full News

The sun is set to make an appearance this bank holiday weekend

It’s the Easter long weekend, and for most, that means four days of gorging on Easter treats and spending time with friends and family.

Whether you have an egg hunt or a big hike planned for the long weekend, we’re all hoping to see a bit of sunshine and dry weather across the region.

While forecasters aren’t predicting a return of the blissful conditions we had a couple of weekends ago, we can expect the sun to make an appearance this bank holiday weekend.

But you’ll need to plan your long walks sooner rather than later, as conditions are set to take a turn on Monday.
