Nottingham is set to be warmer than Madrid over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend, before wet weather arrives early next week.

The warmest days of the four-day weekend will be Saturday and Sunday, when temperatures could climb as high as 14C, according to BBC Weather.

By contrast, those travelling to the western Mediterranean over the Easter period will be met with thunderstorms and strong winds.
Temperatures in the Spanish capital Madrid are not predicted to surpass 11C over Easter.
Those heading out and about in Nottingham over the weekend can expect sunny intervals in between spells of light cloud.
But with the following week (beginning Monday, April 1) looking unsettled, the dry and fine weather over Easter should be enjoyed.
The Met Office’s long-range forecast, covering the period between Monday, April 1, and Wednesday, April 10, says: “Next week begins with some uncertainty, but it looks likely that we will see a return towards more widely unsettled conditions as another area of low pressure pushes across the UK with changeable weather likely largely dominating throughout this period.
‘Most areas look likely to see further showers and some longer spells of rain at times, although interspersed with some drier spells in between.”
