Edinburgh weather: BBC forecast predicts warm and sunny Easter weekend in Edinburgh

Easter weekend set to be warm and sunny, according to forecasts

Edinburgh is set to have a Bank Holiday weekend of sunshine, with temperatures forecasted to hit 12 degrees.

Spring officially began on March 20 this year, but the Capital has had its fair share of rain, wind and even snow over the last few weeks. It looks like residents' luck is set to turn, though, with sunshine and warmer temperatures forecasted for Edinburgh from Friday, which is also the start of the Bank Holiday Easter weekend.

According to the BBC, the Capital will be treated to sunny intervals and a gentle breeze on Friday, with only a 10 per cent chance of rain throughout the whole day. The good weather is set to continue until the end of Easter Sunday on April 9, with rain scheduled to return on Monday, April 10.
