Often cloudy, with heavy blustery showers in the east.
Rain and showers largely clearing the south, with many areas seeing clear spells with patchy frost. Isolated fog in the west before further cloud and rain reaches the far northwest by dawn. Mild here but a cool night elsewhere.
Breezy in the north as light rain moves southeastwards across Scotland, Northern Ireland and north England. Plenty of sunshine ahead of this further south after a cold start. Feel warm.
Settled conditions developing from Friday with some sunny spells especially in the west. Temperatures slowly increasing for many although likely cloudy and cool on the east coast.
Updated:
This will generally be a settled period with high pressure close to the UK throughout. Most locations will remain dry, with variable cloud cover. Although some small areas or bands of thicker cloud, hill fog, and patchy light rain or drizzle will float about day to day. There will also be a few showers, most likely in the east and south of England. Temperatures will often be around average by day, although with mostly light winds and clear skies it will feel warm in any sunshine. Overnight where cloud breaks allow, frosts are likely in rural areas. As already mentioned, winds will mostly be light, although slightly stronger winds are likely in the far southeast at times.
Updated:
During the early part of May high pressure will probably remain close to the UK, with a good deal of dry weather continuing for many areas. As we move further into May signals are finely balanced between drier than average and wetter than average conditions. As such fairly typical conditions are likely, with some good spells of dry weather just about anywhere, but also some more unsettled, showery interludes. Temperatures are likely to trend toward the warm side of average.
