The RAC has advised motorists to wait until later in the day to travel due to significant traffic as poor weather could add to drivers' woes.
Heavy rain could disrupt more than two million return journeys on Easter Monday. The Met Office has said drier spells will turn cloudy with patchy rain for much of England and Wales on Sunday, before up to 15mm of more persistent and possibly thundery rain at the end of the Easter weekend. Some 2.01 million leisure journeys are expected to be made by car on Monday, according to the RAC and transport analysis company Inrix.
'Probably a damp start, especially across Wales, central England and northeastern parts as well with further heavy spells of rain here. 'Further towards the south, if we do see any clouds breaking up we could see heavy showers again in the afternoon.' The heaviest of the rain on Monday will likely be in a corridor from South West England up to East Anglia, Ms Chalk said.
