Fine and dry across the majority of the UK at the start of this period, although a few showers could affect the far north and far south on Thursday. By Friday and into the weekend, there is an increasing likelihood that rain or showers will spread from the south or west with most parts of the UK probably seeing some showers or longer spells of rain at times, perhaps accompanied by strong winds. Some heavy rain may develop, particularly in the west. Into the following week, unsettled conditions will probably continue across many parts of the UK. Some heavy rain or showers are possible at times, these most likely across southern areas. Temperatures will be above normal at first, probably falling back closer to average later.

Confidence is low, but blocked patterns are most probable for the first half of April. This can lead to slow-moving areas of low and high pressure and, depending on their location, can result in extended periods of either dry conditions or, perhaps more likely, wetter episodes in the form of rain or showers. Either way, whilst temperatures overall may be near average, given the time of year this type of regime tends to increase the chance of periods of below average temperatures at times.
