Any patchy cloud will clear quickly, leaving another bright and sunny day. Winds lighter than Wednesday allowing temperatures to climb further. UV levels will also be high. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Staying warm and sunny into the weekend with light winds. Likely to be more cloud on Sunday which will allow temperatures to dip slightly.

High pressure is likely to remain centred close to or over the UK through the remainder of April and into early May. This means a continuation of the predominantly dry conditions, likely with a mixture of some cloudier spells and sunnier days. For the most part, rain-bearing weather systems should be kept at bay, though the far west and northwest may seeing a little rain at times. Winds will be mostly light, but may be fresher around the coasts at times. For most, temperatures will continue above normal, though it will feel cooler along windward coasts in particular. Towards the end of the period, conditions may become more unsettled as low pressure becomes rather more dominant.

A generally more changeable or unsettled spell of weather compared to the previous couple of weeks. This comes about as Atlantic low pressure systems move towards the UK, increasing the chance of periods of heavy rain and perhaps strong winds at times. Towards the middle of the month, weather patterns become increasingly uncertain; however, the wettest and windiest conditions seem most likely to be in the northwest, with the drier and more settled conditions in the southeast. Temperatures will likely be near or a little above normal overall.
