But despite this it looks set to be a sunny day in Nottingham on Sunday April 4, with highs of 14C in the city and 16C elsewhere in the region.
Temperatures across much of England and Wales climbed to over 20°C this week however conditions will change dramatically over the Easter weekend with colder spreading from the north.
The Met Office has said from Monday there will be a change to much colder conditions this week, with strong northerly winds bringing frequent showers of hail and possible snow.
In Nottingham it will drop to -1C on Monday night and -2C on Tuesday morning.
Here's the outlook from the Met Office for the coming days in the region.
Tonight:
Overnight will be fine and dry, with clear spells. It will be another chilly night, with a touch of frost and possibly some mist and fog patches forming in places. Minimum temperature -2 °C.
Sunday:
Another chilly start, although it will be a fine and dry day, with sunny spells. Feeling warm in the sunshine. Turning cloudier and breezier with some rain later. Maximum temperature 16 °C.
Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:
A change to much colder conditions this week, with strong northerly winds bringing frequent showers of hail and snow, especially exposed windward coasts and hills. Becoming less cold on Wednesday.
Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Mark Sidaway, said: “After a settled, warm spell with plenty of sunshine particularly across England and Wales our weather will take a notable change in direction later in the weekend.
"Very cold Arctic air will move in from the north west through Sunday, bringing snow showers and freezing overnight temperatures. The snow showers will predominantly affect the north and west of the UK. The south and east will likely remain drier but still cold with a lower chance of wintry showers.”
