Any residual showers quickly fading to leave a dry night with long clear spells, and winds becoming generally light. Turning cold with a slight frost developing in many places. Minimum temperature -1 °C.

Chilly start Tuesday, then fine with warm sunshine and breezier, but cooler where any onshore winds. Warm and bright Wednesday, cloudier later. Thursday, cooler and breezy with sunshine and showers.

Changeable with Atlantic frontal systems moving across the UK at times. These will bring spells of unsettled weather, with showers or longer spells of rain and a risk of strong winds. The wettest conditions will probably be in the northwest of the UK, with a risk of snow on high ground in the north. Drier and brighter interludes with lighter winds will develop between frontal systems. Temperatures are expected to be close to average overall, perhaps with some colder spells in the north and warmer conditions in the south at times.

It is probable that more blocked, or at least slowly evolving, weather patterns will become increasingly dominant through late April into May. Whilst confidence is low, this may result in more settled and drier conditions overall, although some more unsettled interludes are still possible at times. Temperatures will probably be close to or above normal for the period as a whole.
