Cloudy with scattered heavy showers.
Today: Dry for many to start with isolated showers and light winds. Cloud and heavy, perhaps thundery, showers will arrive from the north through the morning, slowly clearing southward in the afternoon. Scattered showers with some sunny intervals later. Maximum Temperature 13C.
Tonight: Any lingering showers inland should fade into the evening, though isolated showers may continue near coasts for much of the night. An overnight frost is likely under clear skies. Minimum Temperature -2C.
Friday: A day of scattered showers, light winds and sunny intervals. Perhaps cloudier but drier across the south of the region. A chance of cloud and rain moving northward overnight. Maximum Temperature 14C.
Outlook for Saturday to Monday: Cloudy Saturday and Sunday with outbreaks of rain, perhaps heavy for a time with a risk of thunder. Drier and brighter later Sunday and into Monday with sunny spells.
UK Outlook for Monday 29 Apr 2024 to Wednesday 8 May 2024: The weekend's rain probably clearing east and northeast to leave a drier day on Monday, although the chance of showers and even thunderstorms remains. Cloudier, wetter weather is likely to quickly arrive into the west, and slide east across southern areas early next week, such that the majority of the week will be characterised by wetter weather in southern UK, drier weather in northern, especially northwestern UK, and a chance of rain or even thundery showers for a time in the east. Temperatures likely to trend upwards, with the chance of a warm to very warm spell in some southern and eastern parts, before conditions probably turn drier, cooler and more settled from the west towards the end of the period.
UK Outlook for Thursday 9 May 2024 to Thursday 23 May 2024: In this period, the chances of unsettled weather are slightly less than usual in the north and about the same as usual further south. Therefore, some spells of wetter weather are likely for all, but perhaps especially southern areas with the driest conditions probably further north. Temperatures probably near average though with some cooler interludes possible. Also worth noting that average temperatures themselves rise by around 1C per week at this time of year.
