Weatherwatch: Easter weather – the UK's best and worst

Easter comes early this year, thanks to the byzantine way the early church decided on its due date.On average, given that the date of Easter Sunday can vary by more than a month, a later Easter is likely to be sunnier and warmer than an early one.The coldest Easter was indeed early – 31 March 2013 – when the temperature fell to -12.5C in the Scottish Highlands.
