Showers dying out.

Today:

Bright with occasional showers during the morning, the showers becoming lighter and more scattered with drier spells developing through the afternoon. The brisk west or northwest winds also easing. Maximum temperature 11 °C.

Tonight:

Mainly dry at first this evening, but thickening cloud and patchy light rain developing. Occasional mist and drizzle overnight with winds light from the southwest. Minimum temperature 8 °C.

Tuesday:

A cloudy start with patchy light rain and drizzle. Soon mainly dry and skies brightening, perhaps the odd sunny break developing. Feeling pleasant in light to moderate southwest winds. Maximum temperature 14 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

A dry start on Wednesday, but rain pushing in from the northwest. Bright spells and scattered showers on Thursday, then showers or longer outbreaks of rain on Friday.

A broad northwest to southeast split is most likely during this period. The northwest is likely to be more unsettled with low pressure systems moving in at times, bringing periods of strong winds and showers or longer spells of rain. 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, but there remains the chance of some overnight frost.

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 and perhaps east. Any low pressure systems bringing wetter, windier weather are most likely to affect the north. Towards the latter part of April, low pressure patterns may become more prevalent, with unsettled or more changeable conditions developing widely. Temperatures are likely to be close to or slightly above normal.
