A bright day with sunny spells and a few light showers. It will feel chilly in the moderate to fresh northeasterly winds. Maximum temperature 10 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Plenty of dry and bright weather although still the odd shower around. Remaining on the chilly side, but winds often light, mainly northeast to southeast in direction.

Many areas probably starting this period on a rather showery note, with central and southern parts of the UK more likely to see the heaviest and most frequent showers. These will likely be quite slow-moving with the chance of thunder in places. With time, high pressure is expected to become more dominant across the UK, with more prolonged spells of dry weather likely developing, although further rain or showers remain possible at times. Given often light winds and for some, a fair amount of sunshine, it should feel pleasantly warm by day, though areas subject to onshore winds and perhaps also most cloud, especially North Sea coasts, may remain somewhat cooler. Some chilly nights remain likely, especially where skies are clear.

Early May will probably see a good deal of settled weather with high pressure patterns most likely to dominate. There are signs that towards mid May, pressure may fall in the vicinity of the UK, bringing an increased chance of rain or showers. Throughout this period, temperatures are expected to be near to a little above average, though some day to day and regional variability is to be anticipated.
