It will feel very warm, especially away from any coastal winds, peaking at 16°C.

But the Met Office has said the weather is expected to change again from the middle of the week, with signs that cold air from the north could bring another dip in temperatures for Easter weekend.

There is also the risk of some wintry showers in the North East, the forecasters added.

Meanwhile, WX Charts, an organisation that provides international weather data, predicted snow to hit parts of Liverpool and Wirral on April 5.

Their graphics suggest the region could see 0.2 to 0.6cm on snowfall.

The coldest Easter weekend on record was in 2013 when minus 12.5C was recorded at Braemar in Aberdeenshire, on Easter Sunday, while the deepest snow recorded at Easter was on Good Friday came in 2010 when 36cm was measured at Strathdearn, Inverness-shire.

The wettest Easter was in 1991 when 108.7mm of rainfall was recorded at Seatoller, in Cumbria, on Easter Monday.
