It appears the Beast from the East isn't done with us just yet.

According to the Met Office the cold spell is set to continue into April.

It is looking increasingly likely that we will see below average temperatures, and a wintry mix of weather, at times over Easter

The Met Office’s longer-term forecast reads:

"Easter weekend looks set to bring rather changeable weather with a mixture of showers and more organised bands of rain and hill snow at times. Most areas will see some brighter spells. It will be rather cold and at times windy. There is a low risk of snow across all parts, but this is most likely over higher ground. Overnight frosts possible."

The good news is it won't be anything like as cold or as snowy as last month.

The best chance of any drier weather over the Easter break will be from Easter Monday onwards.

Northern Ireland has been gripped by blasts of Siberian air, dubbed the Beasts from the East, twice so far in March with snow and ice wreaking havoc across the country.

If you have bank holiday plans, it is still worth keeping up to date with the forecast.

We are supposed to be in spring now right?
