UK Day 6-7 and week 2
- The ongoing unsettled spell of weather seems likely to continue through the first few weeks of April.
- Initially, the heaviest and most frequent spells of rain and showers are likely to be across southern parts of the UK, with drier brighter and colder conditions dominating further north.
- However, by the end of next week all parts are likely to have some rain or showers.
- As this transition takes place in the north, some snow is possible for a time.
- Overall, temperatures near or above average, although rather cold with night frost at first in the north.
- Often windy, especially in the south and west.
- Towards mid-month, the very unsettled weather may begin to ease, with some drier interludes probably developing.
UK Week 3 and 4
- Through mid to late April, pressure is likely to be higher than average to the north of the UK, with low pressure more likely to the west or southwest.
- This pattern tends to push the focus of unsettled weather further south than usual, with largest rainfall totals more likely to be in the south of the UK.
- Conversely northern, especially northwestern, areas will tend to be drier compared to normal.
- A trend towards more settled conditions in the latter part of this period is growing more likely, of course this not a guarantee at this range.
- Temperatures will probably be near average or slightly above overall, with any cooler interludes most likely in the north early in the period.
