UK long range weather forecast
Mainly unsettled conditions are likely across the UK at the start of this period. Showers or longer spells of rain are probable across many regions, these heavy at times with a risk of hail and thunder, perhaps accompanied by strong winds. Some drier and brighter interludes are also likely at times, but probably with large amounts of cloud. Temperatures will generally be near average. Next week, a similar pattern is likely at first, with unsettled conditions at times and a risk of some heavy rain or showers. Later next week and into the following week, settled weather is expected to become more prevalent, with more in the way of dry, sunny weather developing. Temperatures will probably be around or slightly above average.
Updated:
Late April into early May will probably see a good deal of settled weather with high pressure patterns most likely to dominate. Whilst some spells of more unsettled weather are possible at times, these perhaps more likely towards mid-May, much of the period is expected be largely fine and dry. Temperatures are expected to be near or slightly above average.
