Cloudy overnight with rain and hill fog, mainly across the Peak District. The rain locally heavy through the evening. Elsewhere, generally dry, especially later in the night. Remaining breezy across coasts and higher ground. Minimum temperature 7 °C.

Saturday:

Mostly cloudy to start, a small chance of early drizzle in the west. Otherwise dry with bright or sunny spells gradually developing. Rather breezy and feeling cooler than on Friday. Maximum temperature 14 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

A mostly fine day on Easter Sunday with sunny spells, perhaps the odd shower. Turning unsettled through Monday and Tuesday with scattered showers. Mainly light winds. Generally cool by day.

Many areas probably starting this period on a rather showery note, with central and southern parts of the UK more likely to see the heaviest and most frequent showers. These will likely be quite slow-moving with the chance of thunder in places. With time, high pressure is expected to become more dominant across the UK, with more prolonged spells of dry weather likely developing, although further rain or showers remain possible at times. Given often light winds and for some, a fair amount of sunshine, it should feel pleasantly warm by day, though areas subject to onshore winds and perhaps also most cloud, especially North Sea coasts, may remain somewhat cooler. Some chilly nights remain likely, especially where skies are clear.

Early May will probably see a good deal of settled weather with high pressure patterns most likely to dominate. There are signs that towards mid May, pressure may fall in the vicinity of the UK, bringing an increased chance of rain or showers. Throughout this period, temperatures are expected to be near to a little above average, though some day to day and regional variability is to be anticipated.
