Read our privacy policy The UK is set to bask in glorious sunshine on Easter Sunday as temperatures reach as high as 18C. Met Office meteorologist Jonathan Vautrey said people can expect “hazy sunshine” on Sunday afternoon due to weather fronts pushing their way in from the Atlantic. He added: “Temperatures are actually up to where we have seen them on Saturday, so highs of 15C in the central belt and maybe pushing towards 18C in some other areas as well.” There is an 80 per cent chance temperatures will break this year’s countrywide record of 17.8C on Easter Sunday with the forecasted 18C heat, according to the Met Office.
