Clifton (Bristol) weather

Headline:

Windy tonight then sunshine and showers for Easter Day.

This Evening and Tonight:

Storm Dave will bring strong winds this evening with some heavy and blustery spells of rain at times. The storm will clear in the early hours and winds will ease, though still rather breezy around coasts. Minimum temperature 6 °C.

Sunday:

Sunny spells and scattered showers on Easter Day with lighter winds. Mostly dry by the afternoon but feeling colder than previous days with a fresh breeze. Maximum temperature 12 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Dry on Monday with good sunny spells. Turning increasingly warm from Tuesday. Perhaps staying dry on Wednesday but skies clouding over and turning less warm.

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.
