UK long range weather forecast

A broad northwest to southeast split is expected across the UK during this period. The northwest is likely to be more unsettled with low pressure systems moving in at times, bringing showers or longer spells of rain. Strong winds are also possible, particularly along coasts. In the southeast, high pressure will have greater influence, with more settled, drier weather as a result. Temperatures overall are likely to be near to or slightly above normal.

Updated: 13:00 (UTC) on Sat 28 Mar 2026

High pressure may be dominant early in this period, which would bring plenty of dry and settled weather across the UK, especially in the south. Any low pressure systems bringing wetter, windier weather are most likely to affect the north. Into late April, low pressure patterns may become more prevalent, with more unsettled, changeable conditions developing more widely. Temperatures are likely to be close to or slightly above normal.
