UK long range weather forecast
A transition from the fine and settled conditions most will have seen is expected through this period. This will most likely come in the form of a cold front progressing southeast bringing some rain and showers and fresher conditions. There is a low risk of heavier, possibly thundery showers coming into the country from the south for a time early in the period, but confidence in this aspect of the forecast is low and these may well pass to the east. This heralds a wetter period through the middle of April with showers or longer spells of rain at times, which could be heavy and thundery in places. Strong winds could develop in some areas, particularly the south and west. Temperatures are likely to return closer to normal.
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 most likely during the latter part of April with high pressure becoming more dominant. This settled theme continues into early May, although some spells of wetter, unsettled weather remain possible, especially in the south. Temperatures are expected to be above average overall.
