Clear spells for a time this evening, with temperatures quickly falling. Then cloud increases with a few showers possibly arriving, before rain reaches Derbyshire late tonight. Also becoming breezy. Minimum temperature 3 °C.

Sunday:

Rain quickly spreads east to remaining areas, then eases to turn light and patchy by late morning, with most places becoming dry and cloudy through the afternoon. Breezy and mild. Maximum temperature 13 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Dry and breezy with bright or sunny spells Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday predominantly cloudy with a chance of patchy light rain or drizzle at times. Generally mild or very mild.

Much of this period looks like being largely dominated by high pressure, especially towards the south or southeast of the UK. This will mean many places seeing plenty of dry weather with variable cloud amounts and some sunshine, the best of this towards the south or southeast, but perhaps with some fog overnight. However, frontal systems are still likely to affect the north and west of the UK at times though, maybe also briefly affecting other parts, bringing some rain and strong winds, and perhaps a little snow to the high ground in the north. Temperatures will be near or above normal, although patchy overnight frost is still likely at times.

Little change at first, probably most unsettled in the west and northwest but drier and brighter toward the east and southeast. Lower confidence late-March but perhaps a trend toward more blocked and slow-moving weather patterns, although uncertain whether this will lead to cyclonic and so more unsettled weather or anti-cyclonic, more settled and maybe colder patterns in the vicinity of the UK. In general, some rain still probable but distribution of any wetter areas is extremely low confidence. Temperatures overall near or above average, perhaps with a slightly increasing chance this may trend colder toward the end of the month.
