Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Dry and settled conditions from Wednesday to Friday with plenty of sunshine on offer and staying mild.

High pressure will tend to dominate through this period, often centred to the north or northeast of the UK, maintaining largely settled conditions for much of the time. This should result in lengthy spells of dry and bright weather, but with a risk of patchy overnight frosts where winds fall light. There is also the chance of some areas of low cloud or fog, especially around some coasts. Later in the period, it may turn more unsettled at times as rain or showers try and push in from the west. It will be breezy at times, especially in the southwest early on. Daytime temperatures will tend to fluctuate depending on the wind direction and cloud amounts, with the potential for warm conditions at times but also cooler interludes.

Weather patterns are most likely to remain fairly slow-moving through the second half of April. High pressure may remain centred to the north or northeast of the UK, potentially bringing more fine and dry weather. However, there may also be some interludes of rain or showers, these perhaps more likely to affect southern and western parts of the UK. Temperatures are likely to be around or a little above average overall, and feeling warm inland at times during the day, although some chilly nights are still possible under any clear skies.
