Warming up for Easter

After what has been a rather cold April so far, it’s getting warmer this week - just in time for the Easter Bank Holiday weekend.

Headline:

Dry, with plenty of warm hazy sunshine.

Today:

A dry day in store, with plenty of sunshine. The sunshine will become hazy at times, but will remain strong and with light winds it will feel very warm for the time of year. Maximum temperature 24 °C.

Tonight:

A fine and dry evening to come, though feeling a little chilly once the sun has set. The skies will remain clear overnight, with a light breeze. Minimum temperature 7 °C.

Sunday:

Another fine, dry and very warm day across the region with clear blue skies for much of the day. Temperatures remaining well above average for the time of year. Maximum temperature 25 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Fine and dry on Easter Monday, with plenty of warm sunshine. Tuesday will see a little more cloud around but still warm. Turning increasingly unsettled on Wednesday, with thundery showers.

Updated: 04:00 (UTC+1) on Sat 20 Apr 2019

UK long range weather forecast

Showers with thunderstorms will clear northwards on Thursday. However, further showers will continue in the southwest, spreading across many areas through the day, again with the risk of hail and thunder. Thereafter, for the remainder of April there is lower confidence in the forecast, but the weather will perhaps be more unsettled and generally less warm. There will be a chance of showers or longer spells of rain and some periods of stronger winds, especially in the west and southwest. However, some drier, brighter and warmer interludes are still likely at times, these most probable across southern and southeastern parts. Overall into early May, temperatures will most likely be near normal in the west, and warmer than average in the south and southeast.

Updated: 04:00 (UTC+1) on Sat 20 Apr 2019

Early May is likely to begin with unsettled conditions dominating, however, a shift towards more settled conditions is probable. Whilst some rain is possible at times, a good deal of fine and dry weather is most likely, with temperatures above the seasonal average. Any warmer conditions are most likely in the south and southeast.
