Next Week: Cool Showers Transition to Warmer, Drier Southeast Conditions

The week opens cool and blustery with frequent showers across many areas. Next week begins with cool showers before a transition to warmer air and drier southeast conditions later in the week.

Early-week outlook

Sunday will feature classic sunshine and April showers. Some downpours could bring hail and thunder across central and western districts.

Coastal parts of south‑east England, East Anglia and north‑east England should escape most showers. Winds will be strong, especially in the northwest where coastal gales may persist.

Monday

Expect a chilly start with sunny spells and scattered showers developing widely. Some showers may be heavy and risk hail or thunder.

Showers generally ease overnight away from the far northwest. Clear spells will allow rural frost to form in sheltered spots.

Tuesday

The east should see a fine, dry day after another cold night with rural frost. Skies will brighten there for much of the day.

It turns cloudier and breezier in the west. Showery rain will spread north through the afternoon and evening.

Midweek transition

The air mass will change midweek from a polar maritime flow to a milder tropical maritime one. High pressure building toward the near continent will aid the warming trend.

Wednesday looks the most unsettled day across the UK. Wet and windy conditions will start in the northwest and far west before clearing east and north‑east through the morning.

A band of rain will affect south‑west England, Wales and north‑west England in the morning. It will push into eastern England later after a dry, bright start.

Late-week and weekend picture

Thursday should become drier and brighter with sunny spells and only isolated light showers. Temperatures will rise into the mid‑teens across England, Wales and eastern Scotland.

Eastern England may reach the high teens by Thursday. Friday brings more uncertainty as a low pressure area may approach the northwest.

That low could make northern and western areas windier and cloudier with rain moving northeast. Southern and eastern parts could remain dry, sunny and warm.

There are signs that high pressure may build from the Atlantic and north‑east Europe into the weekend. This would bring mostly dry, settled and pleasantly warm conditions across many areas.

Regional rainfall and temperatures

• Highest rainfall totals are likely in the northwest and far west, especially western Scotland.
• Eastern England should see only small rainfall amounts and remain largely dry during the week.
• Temperatures will return to the high teens across parts of the south from midweek.
