Mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers on Good Friday.
Some bright skies to start with showers along the coasts. Cloud bubbling up into the afternoon with scattered showers breaking out. These heavy at times with the risk of hail and thunder. Blustery around any heavier downpours. Maximum temperature 12 °C.
A few showers continuing this evening and overnight, these mainly affecting coastal areas. Otherwise, inland clearer spells developing and lighter winds. Minimum temperature 5 °C.
Largely dry start with plenty of sunny spells, especially in the east. Showers, perhaps merging to give longer spells of heavier rain across Cornwall later. Feeling warm in the sunshine. Maximum temperature 13 °C.
Drier in the east on Sunday with bright or sunny spells. Showery outbreaks of rain possible across Cornwall. Cloudier on Monday with some patchy rain, with hazier sunshine on Tuesday.

Next week begins with some uncertainty, but it looks likely that we will see a return towards more widely unsettled conditions as another area of low pressure pushes across the UK with changeable weather likely largely dominating throughout this period. Most areas look likely to see further showers and some longer spells of rain at times, although interspersed with some drier spells in between. It looks likely that a north - south split will be set up across the UK. The wettest weather will tend to favour the south whilst northern parts remain a bit drier on average. In association with this split in general temperatures will be close to average, but it will be occasionally cooler in the north, and milder in south.

Through mid to late April, pressure is likely to be higher than average to the north of the UK, with low pressure more likely to the west or southwest. This pattern tends to push the focus of unsettled weather further south than usual, with largest rainfall totals more likely to be in the south of the UK. Conversely northern, especially northwestern, areas will tend to be drier compared to normal. A trend towards more settled conditions in the latter part of this period is growing more likely, of course this not a guarantee at this range. Temperatures will probably be near average or slightly above overall, with any cooler interludes most likely in the north early in the period.
