UK long range weather forecast

Mainly dry across the UK at the start of this period. Some light rain or showers are possible across southern and western areas, but other regions will be brighter with spells of sunshine. Into the weekend, this is likely to be little change with most areas fine and dry. Parts of the west and southwest are likely to be cloudier with a risk of some patchy rain or drizzle. Into the final days of April and start of May, high pressure is likely to be the dominant weather pattern. Fine and dry weather is expected for the majority of the UK with periods of sunshine. Winds are likely to be light with temperatures close to or slightly above normal.

Updated:

Early May will probably see a good deal of settled weather with high pressure patterns most likely to dominate. There are signs that towards mid May, pressure may fall in the vicinity of the UK, bringing an increased chance of rain or showers. Throughout this period, temperatures are expected to be near to a little above average, though some day to day and regional variability is to be anticipated.
