Wednesday:

Dry with lengthy sunny spells and gentle winds, the sunshine perhaps stronger than you might expect for mid-March. Clear spells overnight with light winds and areas of fog and frost. Maximum temperature 13 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Largely dry and sunny on Thursday, sunshine turning hazier on Friday. Turning unsettled on Saturday, cloudy with spells of rain, heavy at times.

At first, is likely to be more unsettled than it has been of late. Wetter weather will probably continue in many areas, at least for a time, with some heavy rain possible, and this could be accompanied by strong winds at times. Into the following week, unsettled conditions will probably continue to some extent across many parts of the UK, though things could quieten down around midweek, at least temporarily. Temperatures are likely to be widely above average at the start of this period, and it will feel warm in any sunshine, before probably falling back and then fluctuating around average for the remainder rest of the month. The first of April will likely continue in this vein, though it could throw up the odd surprise.

Confidence is lower than normal, but blocked or slow-moving weather patterns are most probable for the first half of April. This can lead to slow-moving areas of low and high pressure and, depending on their location, this can result in extended periods of either dry conditions (slightly more-likely) or wetter episodes in the form of rain or showers (slightly less-likely). Temperatures will vary, with some large day-to-day swings possible, but overall are likely to be near average.
