Haytor (Devon) weather

Headline:

Showers easing today, then clearer with some frost overnight.

Today:

Easter Sunday will start on a rather cloudy, breezy and showery note. The showers will become very isolated by the middle of the day though, leaving plenty of sunny spells for the afternoon. Feeling a bit colder than of late. Maximum temperature 11 °C.

Tonight:

An isolated light shower is possible early this evening, but with a ridge of high pressure toppling across overnight it looks largely dry with clear periods. A slight frost forming. Minimum temperature 0 °C.

Monday:

Easter Monday should be a fine day. Some cloud is likely, especially during the morning, and it will be breezy. However, feeling a little warmer when the sun breaks through. Maximum temperature 14 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Tuesday will be another dry day with some warm sunshine, though breezy. Cloudier on Wednesday with some rain arriving later, then brighter, but cooler and rather showery on Thursday.

Rather changeable conditions are expected through this period, as Atlantic frontal systems track eastwards across the UK, accompanied by some strong winds at times. These will bring occasional spells of rain or showers, heaviest and most frequent in the west and northwest, with longer drier interludes likely in the south and sheltered eastern areas. Whilst temperatures will be close to average for the period as a whole, there may be opportunities for some short-lived warm spells in the south and east. Conversely, occasional colder interludes in the northwest will bring the chance of some wintry showers, especially over hills, and overnight frost.

It is probable that more blocked, or at least slowly evolving, weather patterns will become increasingly dominant through late April into May. Whilst confidence is low, this may result in more settled and drier conditions overall, although some more unsettled interludes are still possible at times. Temperatures will probably be close to or above normal for the period as a whole.
