UK Outlook for Saturday 16 Apr 2011 to Monday 25 Apr 2011: It should be mainly dry during the weekend (16th/17th) with just a few outbreaks of light rain or drizzle in places. Into the start of the new week, northern and western parts look set to remain unsettled and become windy. Further south and east, it should be drier initially but outbreaks of rain and stronger winds are expected to spread from the northwest by mid-week. Temperatures will tend to be a bit below normal next week, though to the south and east daytime temperatures may well be warmer than average for mid-April during brighter spells. Towards the end of the period the changeable picture looks set to continue with rain generally most frequent in the northwest although the south may become drier and brighter.

Maybe as cooler air move in to the Southeast

Summary Temperatures fall but some dry weather to come March was notable for its lack of rain in many parts of the British Isles, and for some that trend has continued. To that trend we can now add a bit of spring warmth. Although the April record (29.4C at Camden Sq in London 1949) has yet to be threatened, temperatures have reached 22-23C quite widely across Britain. Almost anything goes in April. High temperatures, heavy downpours and snow at Easter are all possible and only serve to indicate that the strength of the sun is increasing with the advent of spring. It's this atmospheric change that also boosts the development of showers through April and May. change is the watchword of the season so don't be caught out. Let's hope we're not! Monday 11 April 2011 to Sunday 17 April 2011 Heat is tempered by cloudier and cooler weather Only southeast Britain will enjoy the last of the recent warm weather as a cold front brings, cloud, rain and a drop in temperatures to all parts early in the period. Temperatures will fall by several degrees, especially in those inland areas that have topped 20C in recent days. Tuesday will be a bright, fresh day with showers for Scotland and Northern Ireland in particular. Wednesday will be marked by the first significant rain in many areas as an area of low pressure swings its fronts southeastwards. The rain won't reach the far southeast until late afternoon. Thursday and Friday will be cloudy affairs with the odd patch of rain as weak fronts follow on Wednesday's weather systems. At this point the weekend looks set to start on a promising note. Monday 18 April 2011 to Sunday 24 April 2011 Seasonably unsettled through the week The week will be marked by a good deal of variation in weather types across the British Isles. As one might expect at this time of year, there will be spells of unsettled weather, especially across the north and west of the British Isles, where occasional periods of heavy rain or showers will be accompanied by strong winds. Further to the south and east, it will be often cloudy with the odd spell of rain but some decent dry interludes. These will tend to keep temperatures at or above the average, typically 11-14C across England and Wales, whilst Scotland and Northern Ireland will struggle to reach their marks (9-12C). The weekend may be marked by unsettled weather in the northwest of Scotland. Monday 25 April 2011 to Sunday 8 May 2011 Dry trend set to continue in southern Britain The period looks as though it will continue with a north-west - south-east split across the British Isles, with much of Scotland and Northern Ireland seeing rather unsettled weather. Temperatures will be below average for mid-spring whilst rainfall amounts wil be close to par. England and Wales should have a lot of fine and dry weather with prolonged spells of sunshine. There will be showery spells of weather, even in the south, but, overall, many places will be drier than average for the time of year. Temperatures will be close to or even above the mid-spring average. Next week Badminton Horse Trials, the 1000 and 2000 Guineas or the FA Cup final?
