Easter 2022 weather Manchester: what is forecast for Easter school holidays and April bank holiday weekend?

Schools in Manchester have broken up for the Easter holidays, and the bank holidays are here, with many people getting a long weekend.

With this year bringing large parts of the country with nothing but bad weather, Easter is usually the turning point weather wise, and starts the countdown for the summer weather.

Parents will be hoping the weather will be on their side, as children look to make the most of their holidays, getting out in the sun (hopefully!) as they enjoy a nice two-week break from school.

With a rumoured heatwave this month but also a rainy start to the first week of the school holidays, what will the weather be like for the rest of the Easter school holidays and the April bank holiday weekend?

When are the Easter school holidays?

Friday April 1 marks the end of the second term for school pupils up and down the country.

Most pupils will have 18 days off, and return to school on Tuesday, April 19, getting Easter Monday off too.

Students have one more half-term break to look forward to when they return to the classroom after Easter.

There will be a break at the end of May leading into the beginning of June.

Schools will then break-up for the summer in July.

When is the bank holiday weekend?
