Is it going to snow in London on Easter Monday? Weather forecast reveals cold stint, even in the capital, following record-breaking spring heatwave.

The weather forecast, including London, is taking a complete change this Easter weekend as we see the mini spring heatwave end in favour of snow.

Weather forecasters have predicted parts of England and London could see some snowfall on Easter Monday as temperatures plummet following a record-breaking March.
