Cold weather continues
A battle for supremacy continues over the UK, with cold air to the north and east and milder, wet conditions to the south and west
Read moreShowers easing over the country then rain, heavy at times, moving northwards across Wales, southern and central England. Windy in the south with coastal gales. Drier in the north with variable cloud and clear spells.
Cloudy for most with rain or showers, heavy in south. Coastal gales here slowly easing. Mixed further north with some rain in the east, brighter with some showers in west.
Band of locally heavy rain will affect some western areas Saturday, eastern parts cloudy and cool. Drier Sunday and Monday with more in the way of bright or sunshine spells.
The start of this period is likely to be rather changeable, with weather systems moving in from the west to bring showers and longer spells of rain. Drier, brighter interludes are expected at times, however these may be short-lived as further bands of rain move in. Wettest conditions are most likely across southern and western parts of the UK, while the north and east are expected to remain drier. The latter part of this period looks to become more settled, particularly in northern parts where there is potential for high pressure to take over. Further south, more wetter interludes are expected. Stronger winds at times, although temperatures remaining close to average. There is a chance of cooler conditions and overnight frosts where skies clear in the north and east.
This period has potential to see a split in conditions between the north and south of the UK. Any unsettled weather is more likely to take a southerly track, while higher pressure to the north should provide generally drier weather. Overall, somewhere drier in comparison to March across the country. Temperatures are uncertain, but there remains a chance of colder conditions, especially to the north and east where overnight frost risk remains.
