This Evening and Tonight:

Staying dry this evening and overnight with clear periods and light winds. Turning chilly with a touch of frost possible in the countryside, though most places remaining frost free. Minimum temperature 2 °C.

Tuesday:

Any patchy low cloud or mist soon clearing to leave another fine day with plenty of sunshine. Notably breezier than on Monday but feeling warm in the sunshine. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Staying dry with plenty of warm sunshine by day, but nights will be chilly with patchy frost possible. Occasionally brisk easterly winds and perhaps turning cooler and cloudier on Friday.

High pressure will tend to dominate through this period, often centred to the north or northeast of the UK, maintaining largely settled conditions for much of the time. This should result in lengthy spells of dry and bright weather, but with a risk of patchy overnight frosts where winds fall light. There is also 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. It will be breezy at times, especially in the southwest early on. 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.

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 northeast 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 around or a little above average overall, and feeling warm inland at times during the day, although some chilly nights are still possible under any clear skies.
