Easter weather forecast for Sheffield as Storm Dave looks set to hit country
There’s plenty to look forward to this Easter bank holiday weekend, but it will kick off with a rainy Friday.
Four days of sunny springtime weather for Good Friday and Easter Monday is always a tall order, and unfortunately 2026 will be no different.

However, the Met Office says it’s not a washout for Sheffield this weekend and there are bouts of sunshine to go around.
If you have any indoor jobs or need a lazy day on the settee, Friday (April 3) is the day to do it as it is set to be a rainy one.
And if you’re planning a bank holiday walk or a family jaunt outdoors, aim for Sunday but especially Monday for the best chance of a sunny day out.
