Scattered light showers and some sunny spells.

Today:

Rather cool in the east, with the onshore breeze bringing in scattered light rain showers. Most will still see some sunny intervals however, with the best of these developing in the drier and warmer west. Maximum temperature 14 °C.

Tonight:

Scattered fleeting light showers becoming increasingly confined to coasts overnight, with clearer spells inland perhaps allowing a slight grass frost in prone rural areas. Minimum temperature 1 °C.

Monday:

A few further light showers are possible during the morning, but it should become drier and brighter generally later, with increasing sunny spells and with the wind also easing. Maximum temperature 14 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Fine through this period, with mostly light winds. Some slight overnight frosts remain possible inland, but feeling pleasant in sunny spells by day, with temperatures climbing slightly overall.

Overall, high pressure is expected to dominate bringing largely fine and dry conditions. Cloud amounts will be quiet variable, but some decent clear and sunny spells are likely. Northern and western areas are most likely to be the sunniest at first, with central and southeastern areas perhaps cloudier at times. Also cloudier at times across northern Scotland with perhaps some light rain. There is also a chance, albeit low, of showers developing across southern parts of England and Wales at times, especially from next weekend onwards. Temperatures are likely to be a little above normal, feeling pleasantly warm in the sunnier locations. Still rather chilly at night, with potential for ground frost at times in rural areas.

Fairly typical spring weather is considered most likely through the second half of May. Overall, fine and dry weather is more likely to dominate although this will be interspersed with occasional spells of rain and showers, with a risk of heavy rain and thunderstorms in places. Overall, temperatures will most likely be near or slightly above average.
