Cricket ground was all underwater on Saturday. And they couldn't have horse-racing at Musselburgh Racecourse near Edinburgh because the track was too wet. Craig Snell, a meteorologist at the , said: “For England and Wales, generally today’s the best for the sunshine. Tomorrow, if you’re up early enough, it’s not going to be a bad start but it starts to go a bit downhill as we go from the afternoon onwards, and Monday certainly looks very wet in places.” The worst of the rain will be felt from Yorkshire down to the south, and the Met Office is keeping an eye out to see if they need to tell people to be extra careful because of the weather, Mr Snell explained.An area of cloud in the North Sea will spill over into England and Wales on Easter Sunday, leading to grey conditions and spots of rain.

Scotland and Northern
Ireland will hold on to brighter spells across both of the days. Mr Snell added: “If anyone’s doing any travelling on Monday, maybe allow some extra time for journeys because regardless of whether or not we have any warnings out there, there’ll be some fairly poor travelling conditions at times.”
