UK long range weather forecast
Much more mixed weather conditions than of late, with low pressure systems and their associated areas of rain and showers often affecting the UK. Some heavy rain and showers are likely at times with a risk of hail and thunder in places. Gusty winds will accompany some of the heavier showers. There will also be some brighter, drier spells at times, although probably large amounts of cloud. Temperatures will probably be close to the average or slightly above for the time of year. These unsettled, changeable conditions are most likely during the first half of this period. Later, there is a chance that more settled, drier but perhaps cooler weather cold develop across many parts of the UK.
Updated:
Some unsettled weather is possible at this start of this period with showers or longer spells of rain in places. However, a change to more settled conditions is likely through this period as high pressure becomes more influential. This more settled theme continues into early May, although some briefer spells of wetter, unsettled weather remain possible, especially in the south. Temperatures are expected to be above average overall.
