Fine and warm through this evening, then dry tonight with variable cloud cover and some clear spells. Low cloud will develop over eastern hills and for most it will be fairly mild, although chillier in some rural spots. Minimum Temperature 7C.

Wednesday:

Dry and sunny through the morning, however cloud will thicken with heavy and thundery showers breaking out through the afternoon. These will slowly move northwards. Still warm for most. Maximum Temperature 21C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Unsettled with further heavy and thundery showers likely on Thursday and Friday. Windier on Saturday with coastal gales possible, with some heavy rain. Feeling much fresher for all.

Day 6-7 and Week 2:

After a dry start, many places will become wet and windy on Sunday with heavy rain at times and a risk of gales, especially in the north and west. However, there will be sunny spells in some parts. For the end of April and start of May, changeable weather is likely to dominate, with a chance of showers or longer spells of rain and some periods of stronger winds, especially in the west and southwest. These will be interspersed with drier but probably short-lived sunny spells. Temperatures will most likely be near normal in the west, and slightly warmer than the seasonal average in the south and southeast. There is a chance of a shift towards drier warmer weather by the bank holiday weekend but this is far from certain.

Week 3 and 4:

For the middle of May, some wet & windy weather is likely, especially at first. However, there are indications of a shift towards more settled weather as the month progresses. A good deal of fine and dry weather is possible, with temperatures perhaps above the seasonal average. The highest temperatures are most likely in the south and southeast.
