Widely fine and dry across the majority of the UK for the first couple of days of this forecast period. Clear or sunny spells are likely across most regions, although the north and northwest of Scotland and Northern Ireland could be cloudier with a little light rain or drizzle at times. Into early May, it will probably begin to turn more changeable, with dry, settled periods interspersed with some spells of unsettled weather. This will bring some showers or longer spells of rain at times, which could be heavy and thundery in places. Temperatures are likely to be widely above average to begin with, but will probably fall nearer normal as we move into early May.

Fairly typical spring weather is expected during the middle of May. Periods of fine and dry weather are likely to be interspersed with spells of wetter, more unsettled weather, with a risk of heavy rain and thunderstorms. Temperatures will most likely be near normal or slightly above.
