East of England weather forecast

Headline:

Another fine and sunny day.

Today:

Early cloud in the west will quickly clear through the morning, leaving another fine and sunny day across the region. Breezy, especially along the coast where it will feel cooler as a result. Warmer further inland. Maximum temperature 17 °C.

Tonight:

Clear skies across the region continue through the evening, leading to a chilly night for many. Winds easing slightly overnight, although likely staying fairly breezy along the coast. Minimum temperature 4 °C.

Sunday:

Another fine and sunny day ahead. Winds staying breezy, especially along the coast and across East Anglia, where it will feel cool. Warmer further inland, although slightly cooler than Saturday. Maximum temperature 15 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Settled weather persisting through next week with plenty of sunshine. Feeling warm by day with light winds, cooler along the coast. Turning colder during the nights, with patchy frosts developing.

Updated: 05:00 (UTC+1) on Sat 5 Apr 2025

UK long range weather forecast

High pressure expected to prevail early in this period maintaining largely settled conditions. This should result in largely dry weather with plenty of sunshine for most. Daytime temperatures will depend on the wind direction and cloud amounts, but most places will be warm for most of the period, and very warm days most likely will be further inland. Coasts with an onshore flow tending to be cooler. Overnight frosts are possible on clear nights where winds fall light. There is also the chance of some areas of low cloud or fog, notably around the east coast. Towards the middle of April, the weather is likely to turn more unsettled for a time with a greater chance of showers or longer spells of rain for all regions.

Updated: 15:00 (UTC+1) on Fri 4 Apr 2025

An unsettled period is likely around mid April, with showers or longer spells of rain at times for most. Despite being unsettled, there will be fair conditions between weather systems. A return to higher pressure is favoured later in the month with some settled spells likely to return. Temperatures are likely to be around average at first, before above average temperatures become more likely again later in the period.
