Some warm sunshine today, though some showery rain too.
Most northern areas will have a cloudy day with showery rain, locally heavy and perhaps thundery. Northwest Scotland, central and southern England, along with south Wales will be brighter with warm sunny spells, though some heavy showers, especially southeast England.
Scotland, Northern Ireland and northwest England will be cloudy with patchy rain, and some rain arriving in Cornwall later. Turning chilly elsewhere with clear spells and mist or fog patches.
Often rather cloudy in the north with some showery rain, heaviest across Scotland. Outbreaks of rain also affecting parts of southwest England. Warm sunshine and isolated showers elsewhere.
Warm sunshine on Bank Holiday Monday, though with heavy showers too. Showers fewer in number and less heavy on Tuesday. Mostly fine and warm midweek, though some rain far northwest.
Updated:
Strong signal for a continued build of high pressure across the UK by the middle of next week. This will bring more in the way of dry and fine weather for most areas, although there is still a chance of some showers in places at first, and a risk also of some more persistent rain rounding the high into north-western parts of the country. The high is likely to maintain influence into the weekend before starting to weaken the following week. So a continuation of fine conditions next weekend seems likely, before a return of less settled conditions by the end of the period. Temperatures are expected to be slightly above normal for early May.
Updated:
During the longer range outlook period, there is a greater chance of unsettled weather returning, especially across the south. This means that spells of wet weather are likely for most with no particular location more prone than anywhere else. There are no strong signs for any exceptional temperatures either above or below average, but warm days are possible as are some chilly nights.
