A mixed weekend of sunshine and showers
Whilst we are likely to see some showers at times, there will be plenty of warm sunny weather for many.
Read moreSunny spells and heavy showers will develop across most of the UK today, some of these heavy and slow moving with the odd rumble of thunder. Cloudier in the southeast with heavy and persistent rain. Feeling warm in any sunshine.
Showers and rain will gradually ease away tonight with partly cloudy skies. Patchy low cloud, mist and fog will develop in places. Turning chilly under clear spells
A cloudy start, but sunny spells will develop for most through the day. However, staying largely cloudy across the north. A few showers forming in the south in the afternoon.
Largely fine and dry with variable amounts of cloud and some sunshine. Rain will move into parts of Northern Ireland and northern Scotland on Wednesday. Rather warm in the sunshine.
There is a strong signal for high pressure across the UK at the start of this period, bringing a good deal of fine and dry weather for most areas, though with patchy mist and fog in places each morning. Northwestern parts of the UK are likely to be the exception to this, with more in the way of cloud and rain at times here. The high is likely to maintain its influence into the weekend before starting to weaken during the following week. So a continuation of largely fine weather seems likely for most through the first few days, before a return of less settled conditions during the week. Temperatures are expected to be slightly above normal for early May, with some very warm days possible.
During the longer range outlook period, there is a greater chance of unsettled weather returning across the UK. This means that spells of wet weather are likely for most, with no particular location more prone than anywhere else. The chances of above or below average temperatures are fairly balanced, but at this time of year this means that some warm days are likely.
