Staple Hill (South Gloucestershire) weather

Headline:

Dry and fine with plenty of sunshine.

Today:

A dry and bright day with plenty of sunshine, though rather breezy too. Brisk easterly winds persist for many, becoming windy along southern coasts and across parts of Devon and Cornwall. Feeling warm in sheltered, sunny spots. Maximum temperature 15 °C.

Tonight:

Dry and settled at first, but becoming rather cloudy overnight with a few spots of rain in the far southwest. Remaining breezy, especially along the coast. Minimum temperature 3 °C.

Thursday:

Increasingly cloudy, with scattered showers spreading in from the south coast, most frequent in the southwest. Still rather breezy, especially along the coast, but warm in the sunshine. Maximum temperature 14 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Warm and sunny conditions return for the weekend. Still rather breezy at times, especially along the south coast, but winds gradually easing. Slightly cooler on Saturday and Sunday.

High pressure should prevail for most of the outlook period, maintaining largely settled conditions for much of the time. This should result in lengthy spells of dry and bright weather. There is still a chance of patchy overnight frosts where winds fall light. There is also the chance of some areas of low cloud or fog, especially around some coasts. Towards the middle of April, the weather may turn more unsettled as rain or showers try to push in from the west. It will be breezy at times, especially in the southwest at first. Daytime temperatures will depend on the wind direction and cloud amounts, with potential for warm conditions at times but also cooler interludes.

Weather patterns are most likely to remain fairly slow-moving through the second half of April. There could be some interludes of rain or showers for a time around mid April, but on the whole plenty of dry and fine weather is expected with high pressure looking to remain in charge for most of the time. Temperatures are likely to be around or a little above average overall, and feeling warm inland at times during the day, although some chilly nights are still possible under any clear skies.
