Weather forecast Easter weekend: Sheffield to see sunny intervals and strong winds during bank holiday weekend
Watch the Met Office forecast for Easter bank holiday weekend, as sunny intervals and strong winds are forecast for Sheffield.
The Met Office is forecasting sunny intervals but also strong winds for Sheffield during the Easter weekend.
Steven Keates, Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, said: “As we head into Good Friday and Easter Saturday, the weather is expected to turn more unsettled, with spells of rain at times, some of which could be heavy. This will be followed by sunny spells and showers, with the driest conditions likely towards the southeast of the UK.
“It is also likely to become windy at times across all areas, particularly in exposed north-western locations. While there remains some uncertainty in the detail at this point in time, there is a strong signal for wet and windy conditions to continue into the Easter Weekend.”

Sunday 5 April to Tuesday 14 April
It is increasingly likely that unsettled conditions will affect the UK over the Easter Holiday weekend, with the potential for strong winds and heavy rain at times. The wettest and windiest weather is more likely towards the west and north of the country.
Beyond Easter, a broad northwest-southeast split is most likely, though the extent of high pressure into southern areas is unclear. That said, northern and western parts are more likely to remain rather unsettled overall, with further spells of wind and rain, and areas further southeast should see the best of the drier, clearer interludes. Temperatures probably fairly close to average overall, but occasional warmer spells are possible in the south and east.
