High pressure will often be centred to the north or east of the UK, especially early in the period, maintaining relatively settled conditions for much of the time. This should result in lengthy spells of dry and bright weather, but also an ongoing risk of overnight frosts, especially where winds fall light. There is 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. 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. It will be breezy at times, especially in the southwest early on.

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 east 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 above average overall, and feeling warm inland at times during the day, although some cold nights are still possible under any clear skies.
