Easter travellers can expect a fine start to the holiday, with those who have booked overnight stays in Britain taking to the roads in their millions.
But with an estimated 3.4 million people taking a holiday in their own country, the dry and warm weather is set to give way to cooler, cloudier and rainier conditions as the weekend goes on.
Among the luckiest of those heading abroad for the holiday are travellers flying to the United States where the dollar is at its weakest against the pound in five years.
Those travelling States-side are among an estimated 1.6 million having an overseas break this Easter, with Spain, its islands, Turkey and Tunisia among the most-popular destinations.
Top city-break destinations are Paris, Dublin, Amsterdam, Rome and New York.
Those staying at home will have to put up with crowded roads with traffic information company Trafficmaster reckoning that as many as 16 million cars will be in use over the weekend.
As well as those having trips involving at least an overnight stay, an estimated 6.5 million Britons are likely to take day trips over the holiday.
Engineering work on the railways is affecting Easter services to and from a number of major hubs, including London's Charing Cross, London Bridge, Paddington and King's Cross stations.
Southampton Central and Sheffield are among other major stations where services will be affected over the weekend.
Rail industry body the Railway Delivery Group said work was planned carefully to ensure the vast majority of passengers are not disrupted.
The group added that this Easter would see 20% fewer bus replacement services needed than last Easter.
