UK long range weather forecast
Mixed conditions across the UK at the start of this period and the first weekend. Showers or longer spells of rain are likely 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 likely be near normal overall. Into the following week, a similar pattern is likely at first with unsettled conditions at times with a risk of some heavy rain or showers. Later in the week settled weather is expected to become more prevalent, with more in the way of dry, sunny weather developing. Temperatures will probably be around normal or slightly above.
Updated:
Some unsettled weather is possible at this start of this period with showers or longer spells of rain in places. However, a change to more settled conditions is likely through this period as high pressure becomes more influential. This more settled theme continues into early May, although some briefer spells of wetter, unsettled weather remain possible, especially in the south. Temperatures are expected to be above average overall.
