A fine start to the period, with increasingly cloudy and mild conditions. A band of rain, accompanied by extensive low cloud, will slowly move eastwards across Scotland and Northern Ireland. The south and east of England is expected to remain dry, with clear or sunny spells. With time, drier and brighter interludes are expected to develop across the UK as a whole, although still with the possibility of some unsettled spells, particularly towards the end of this period. It may be that the wettest weather is most probable in the south and west. Winds expected to be generally light during this time but there may be some spells of windier weather, towards mid-April. Temperatures likely remaining close to or a little above average.

Confidence in the forecast remains quite low for the second half of April. There is potential for more widely unsettled and perhaps windy weather at first, otherwise the chance of rain will be higher further to the south through this period. Meanwhile higher pressure to the north may provide higher chances of drier weather. It is most likely that temperatures will be close to, or just above average.
