UK long range weather forecast
A settled regime will likely be in place across much of the country at first with high pressure likely to be centred to the west or northwest of the UK during this time. However, there is the threat of some rain and a few showers in the North and East. There's a small chance more unsettled conditions with heavier showers could move up from the south to impact southern areas. There are the continued threats of rural frost and patchy fog where winds fall light. Temperatures become quite uncertain depending on where the high resides, particularly in the east where temperatures are likely to struggle above average. Warmer days are most likely to be further inland towards the south and west.
Updated:
Mixed weather patterns, typical of spring are most likely through the first half of May. Overall, fine and dry weather is expected to be most dominant, with fair-weather cloud and plenty of sunny spells. However, all areas are likely to see some showers or perhaps some longer spells of rain at times, with these unsettled periods more likely than they were in April. Temperatures are likely to be close to the average for the time of year, with the possibility of some warmer spells.
