The rain clouds slowly return

After a dry start, high pressure will gradually loosen its grip, allowing rain-bearing weather fronts to make inroads through the remainder of April. Feeling quite cool at times too as we go into May.

 

Monday 12 April 2010 to Sunday 18 April 2010

Dry weather weather hangs on for a few more days:

• A cool northeasterly wind will spread a fair amount of cloud across the UK at times. However, apart from the odd shower, it should stay largely dry. The best of the sunshine will be in the west. An approaching weather front will threaten some rain to Scotland by the weekend.

Monday 19 April 2010 to Sunday 25 April 2010

Showers spread south on a chilly breeze.

• Successive weather fronts will spread bands of showers further southwards across the UK. A blustery wind will make it feel quite chilly too, with the possibility of snow for the higher hills in the north. However southernmost parts of England and Wales will hang on to lighter winds and some pleasant sunshine for longest.

Monday 26 April 2010 to Sunday 9 May 2010

Rain at times, and don't rule out a late frost.

• Low pressure will keep the weather quite unsettled at times as we go into May. Further rain is expected, especially for some eastern areas of the UK. With clearer skies and lighter winds further west, it's not too late for a touch of overnight frost.
