What’s the weather going to be this Easter long weekend?

The Easter long weekend is here! And many Australians are taking advantage of the public holiday to spend some quality time with the family at home and interstate. But with so much free time on our hands, we can’t help but ask: “What’s the weather going to be like this Easter?”

Are we promised sunny skies or blustering winds? A touch of drizzly rain or scorching temperatures? Will you need an esky for your Easter Eggs or an inside plan for your Easter long lunch?

Never fear, we have scoured the various weather reports from Bureau of Meteorology (BoM), WillyWeather, Weatherzone and more to create what we think could be the most accurate weather forecasts for the capital cities over the Easter long weekend. However, caveat we aren’t meteorologists, weather can be fickle, especially in autumn, so be sure to pack sunscreen and an umbrella just in case!
