Sunnier and warmer today, and staying fine into tomorrow.

Today:

Today will be dry with a mixture of sunny periods and occasional cloudier spells. Some coastal regions will see almost unbroken sunshine. Sea breezes developing but winds remaining generally light, so feeling warm in the sunshine. Maximum Temperature 17C.

Tonight:

A fine evening with some late sunshine, then remaining dry overnight with lengthy clear periods. Some cloud developing in Pennine regions and turning locally misty elsewhere. Chilly, but staying frost-free. Minimum Temperature 5C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Occasional light rain at first on Saturday, but slowly brightening up. Rain is possible on Sunday but may only affect Cumbria. Otherwise fine with some sunshine and becoming warmer.

UK Outlook for Monday 28 Apr 2025 to Wednesday 7 May 2025:

Most likely starting off widely fine with sunny spells, following the clearance of early morning mist and fog. This most likely in the south, whilst in the north there's a greater chance of more cloud which may take some time to clear. There's a small chance that fine and very warm weather could extend right across the country over the following days, but it's more likely that cloud/rain in the northwest will sink southeast introducing more changeable and cooler conditions for a time mid-week. It then becomes roughly equal chances that we see a resumption of mainly fine and dry conditions versus a continuation of more changeable weather with a mixture of rain and drier interludes.
