UK Day 6-7 and week 2

• Into the first week of April, settled weather is expected to cover much of the UK
• Most places are expected to be dry with clear or sunny spells and light winds
• Some periods of unsettled weather could develop at times and if this happens any rain or showers are most likely to affect southern areas

UK Week 3 and 4

• Slow-moving (or blocked) weather patterns are most likely through the middle of April
