Headline:

Fine and dry

Today:

Any early fog patches clearing quickly to give a fine and dry day with plenty of warm sunshine. Feeling cooler in the strengthening breeze, especially along the coast. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Tonight:

Dry and clear overnight, with winds easing slightly inland but staying breezy at times near the coast, where it will feel cool. Minimum temperature 4 °C.

Wednesday:

Another fine and dry day with plenty of sunshine. Breezy at times, especially towards the coast with an onshore breeze. Chilly again overnight and remaining breezy. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

This period sees dry, sunny, and warm days, though breezy at times, with chilly nights. Low cloud or fog may spread inland overnight Friday and Saturday, before clearing by day.

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.
