Headline:

Fine, but cool, day with bright or sunny spells.

After a cold, frosty start, a fine day follows with plenty of bright or sunny spells. Dry overall, though a slight chance of an isolated coastal shower. Feeling cool, particularly along coasts in northeasterly winds. Maximum temperature 9 °C.

Sunny spells persist through the evening. Temperatures fall quickly overnight with a rural frost possible. Cloud thickens later, allowing some recovery in temperatures and bringing sporadic light rain. Minimum temperature 2 °C.

Thursday:

Variable cloud and patchy rain for much of the day, with occasional bright or sunny intervals and temperatures slightly higher than Wednesday. Breezy conditions for coastal areas. Maximum temperature 14 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Friday brings sunny spells and scattered showers. Confidence lowers into the weekend, though rain or showers are likely on Saturday at some point. Sunday appears drier, with occasional sunny spells.

Changeable and at times rather unsettled conditions look to dominate through the middle part of May, with low pressure often close by. This means periods of rain or showers, some of which could be heavy, for many places, though some drier interludes are also expected. For the most part, temperatures are likely to be close to or perhaps a little below normal, though depending on the position of low pressure relative to the UK, there is the chance of brief warmer mroe humid interludes extending north from the near continent. With this would be the chance of some thunderstorms, these most likely affecting parts of England and Wales.

Low pressure systems are likely to still be close by to the UK at the start of this period. This means showers or longer spells of rain are likely at times, these heavy in places, with the wettest conditions probably towards the northwest by this stage. There will, however, probably be some dry and warm interludes, these more likely towards the south, although temperatures are likely to be close to normal overall. Later in the period, more settled and drier conditions may develop, as high pressure establishes itself over or to the west of the UK, with temperatures perhaps rising a little above normal, especially in the west. Should this happen, eastern parts may be on the cool side with a predominant flow off the North Sea.
