UK Day 6-7 and week 2
- Next week begins with some uncertainty, but it looks likely that we will see a return towards more widely unsettled conditions as another area of low pressure pushes across the UK with changeable weather likely largely dominating throughout this period.
- Most areas look likely to see further showers and some longer spells of rain at times, although interspersed with some drier spells in between.
- It looks likely that a north - south split will be set up across the UK.
- The wettest weather will tend to favour the south whilst northern parts remain a bit drier on average.
- In association with this split in general temperatures will be close to average, but it will be occasionally cooler in the north, and milder in south.
UK Week 3 and 4
- Through mid to late April, pressure is likely to be higher than average to the north of the UK, with low pressure more likely to the west or southwest.
- This pattern tends to push the focus of unsettled weather further south than usual, with largest rainfall totals more likely to be in the south of the UK.
- Conversely northern, especially northwestern, areas will tend to be drier compared to normal.
- A trend towards more settled conditions in the latter part of this period is growing more likely, of course this not a guarantee at this range.
- Temperatures will probably be near average or slightly above overall, with any cooler interludes most likely in the north early in the period.
