Windy with blustery showers. Gradually becoming drier and brighter Friday.

This Evening and Tonight:

  • Windy during the evening, with further scattered blustery showers and coastal gales.
  • Some of these showers will be heavy, perhaps with hail and thunder.
  • Further blustery showers are expected into the early hours, however winds will ease a little generally.
  • Minimum Temperature 3C.

Friday:

  • Breezy and rather cloudy during the morning, with showery rain punctuated by some heavier bursts with a risk of hail and thunder.
  • Gradually becoming drier and brighter later.
  • Near-normal temperatures.
  • Maximum Temperature 13C.

Saturday to Monday:

  • More in the way of fine, warm weather developing over the weekend after some chilly starts.
  • Probably cloudier, windier and cooler Monday with some rain, although detail currently uncertain.

UK Day 6-7 and week 2

  • Next week begins with some uncertainty, but it looks likely that we will see a return towards more widely unsettled conditions as another area of low pressure pushes across the UK with changeable weather likely largely dominating throughout this period.
  • Most areas look likely to see further showers and some longer spells of rain at times, although interspersed with some drier spells in between.
  • It looks likely that a north - south split will be set up across the UK.
  • The wettest weather will tend to favour the south whilst northern parts remain a bit drier on average.
  • In association with this split in general temperatures will be close to average, but it will be occasionally cooler in the north, and milder in south.

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.
