Boulmer (Northumberland) weather

Headline:

Windy overnight with Storm Dave. Fine Easter morning, showers later.

This Evening and Tonight:

Turning very windy, with inland gales, perhaps severe. Blustery rain and showers quickly moving through before midnight. Turning drier and colder, with winds easing through the early hours of Monday, but perhaps the odd shower still possible, wintry over hills. Minimum temperature 0 °C.

Sunday:

Bright and breezy Easter Sunday with some sunny spells to start. Cloud then thickening, with blustery showers during the afternoon, before late sunny spells follow. Feeling cooler than Saturday. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Dry, but cloudy Monday. Staying fine with warm sunshine Tuesday, but cooler in any onshore breeze. Chilly starts, with perhaps some frost. Very warm sunshine Wednesday, before cloud thickens later.

Rather changeable conditions are expected through this period, as Atlantic frontal systems track eastwards across the UK, accompanied by some strong winds at times. These will bring occasional spells of rain or showers, heaviest and most frequent in the west and northwest, with longer drier interludes likely in the south and sheltered eastern areas. Whilst temperatures will be close to average for the period as a whole, there may be opportunities for some short-lived warm spells in the south and east. Conversely, occasional colder interludes in the northwest will bring the chance of some wintry showers, especially over hills, and overnight frost.

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.
