Mixed conditions across the UK at the start of this period. Showers or longer spells of rain are likely across many regions, these heavy at times with a risk of hail and thunder, perhaps accompanied by strong winds. Some drier and brighter interludes are also likely at times, but probably with large amounts of cloud. Temperatures will likely be near normal overall. Into the following week, a similar pattern is likely at first with unsettled conditions at times with a risk of some heavy rain or showers. Later in the week settled weather is expected to become more prevalent, with more in the way of dry, sunny weather beginning to develop. Temperatures will probably be around normal or slightly above.
Updated:
Late April into early May will probably see a good deal of settled weather with high pressure patterns most likely to dominate. Whilst some spells of wetter, more unsettled weather are possible at times, much of the period is expected be fine and dry. Temperatures are expected to be near normal or slightly above.
