Easter 2023 weather in Sheffield: Met Office forecast for April bank holiday weekend and school holidays

Easter is nearly upon us and many are probably wondering what the weather will be like so you can bring your loved ones for an Easter egg hunt. After weeks of unsettled weather, with downpours and freezing temperatures, will Sheffield finally get the sun-soaked break we truly deserve?

Although the Met Office has predicted unsettled conditions ahead of the Easter break for some parts in the UK, Sheffield can expect a drier and brighter start to their holiday, with clear spells and light winds.

Good Friday (April 7) marks the beginning of the Easter weekend, which lasts until Easter Monday (April 10). From April 3 to April 14, the city’s public schools will be closed for the holiday, just in time for a few Easter egg hunts. Here is what the Met Office has to say about Sheffield’s weather over Easter.
