Warm with sunshine at first. Becoming unsettled over the weekend.

Today:

Any fog patches first thing will soon lift and break to leave a dry and warm day with lengthy periods of sunshine. The sunshine will perhaps become a little hazy in northern parts due to high cloud. Light winds. Maximum Temperature 21C.

Tonight:

A dry night with long clear spells, allowing temperatures to fall rapidly, perhaps with a frost in prone rural spots. Areas of fog developing, particularly in the east. Minimum Temperature 3C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Cooler and more unsettled conditions are likely through this period, with outbreaks of rain and showers, these perhaps heavy at times. Some drier interludes remain probable, however. Occasionally breezy.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 15 Apr 2025 to Thursday 24 Apr 2025:

Much more mixed weather conditions than of late, with low pressure systems and their associated areas of rain and showers often affecting the UK. The rain is likely to be heavy at times, and the showers, most frequently affecting western areas, will also be heavy and blustery in places, with isolated small hail and thunder. There will also be some brighter, drier spells in between rain and showers, although probably large amounts of cloud too, with limited sunshine. Unsettled, wet, and occasionally windy conditions are most likely during the first few days of this period; beyond this, and certainly into the following week, there is an increasing chance that cooler, northerly winds could develop, followed by a less unsettled spell. Temperatures mostly around average for the time of year.
