Temperatures overnight Wednesday to Thursday were above zero everywhere, and it was cloudy, but dry, with southeasterly breezes.

Thursday morning is a continuation of most of these conditions, though the cloud will lift, particularly in the west and over the islands, where the skies are set to be clear. Ambient temperatures a fairly uniform +3-4 degrees Celsius.

The mercury will climb through the day, up to 13 degrees on the mainland, though it will be chillier on Saaremaa and Hiiumaa, at 8-9 degrees. The southeasterlies remain, 5-10 meters per second in gusts up to 14 meters per second, and the cloud cover will thicken somewhat in the west. Nonetheless, the sun will peep through at times all over the country.

The arrival of a low-pressure system means Good Friday is set to be rainy and colder, particularly in the northeast, and +7 degrees on average.

The rest of Easter weekend and into the new week will be warmer during the day, from +10 on average on Easter Saturday to +15 degrees on Monday, yet the nighttime temperatures will be colder again, particularly Saturday night into early Sunday morning when temperatures will dip below zero again.

Saturday and Sunday will be clearer, however, with patches of showers only on the first of these days; Easter Day is forecast to be dry.

Monday while as noted will be considerably warmer, can also see scattered showers.

On Easter Sunday, the last day of March, the clocks go forward early in the morning. Whereas dawn in Tallinn was just before 6 a.m. today, Thursday, on Sunday it falls nearly an hour later. Sundown on Thursday is at 6.55 p.m., but after the clock changes it will come at just after 8 p.m., on Sunday evening (Tallinn times).
