Read moreShowers easing this evening. Clear spells overnight, patchy ground frost.
Any early evening showers soon dying away, leaving clearing skies, with winds easing. This will allow temperatures to fall with the chance of ground frost developing in prone rural spots. Minimum temperature 1 °C.
A dry, sunny and chilly start. Cloud bubbling up during the morning but still with sunny spells. Cloud then thickening through the afternoon, with isolated showers possible later. Maximum temperature 13 °C.
Often cloudy on Monday with showers spreading inland from coastal areas. Drier on Tuesday and Wednesday with sunny spells. Becoming breezy, feeling cool especially on coasts. Chilly overnight.
Updated:
High pressure is likely to be centred to the north of the UK through much of this period. Overall, many places will probably be largely dry with clear or sunny periods. There is a chance of some rain or showers at times in the far southwest and northeast, perhaps turning wintry in parts of Scotland. Wind may be strong at times around coasts, mainly in the southwest and northeast. Temperatures will probably be near normal or slightly above for many, but with a risk of colder conditions affecting the north at times.
Updated:
Slowly evolving weather patterns are likely through the first half of May. Within this, high pressure is likely to be located somewhere to the north or northwest and low pressure closer to southern areas. The orientation of and proximity to the UK of each of these features will be key to regional weather on a day-to-day basis. However, on balance, northern and some western areas are likely be drier, with southern and possibly some eastern parts seeing more in the way of rain or showers. Overall, temperatures probably close to or a little above average, though scope for some cold nights with late season frost, especially in the north.
