UK Outlook for Sunday 18 May 2014 to Sunday 1 Jun 2014: In the absence of any strong signals for any particular weather type to dominate during this period, the most likely scenario is for conditions to be fairly typical for the time of year. As such, there are likely to be periods of fine and dry weather interspersed with occasional more unsettled spells with rain or showers. By day, temperatures are most likely to be near, or just above, average which at this time of year would leave conditions feeling pleasant in sunshine when winds are light.

However, there will also be some drier and brighter periods in between; the best of which will be towards southeastern areas. Temperatures probably staying on the whole close to average for the time of year, however some warmer days are likely in the southeast/east, especially towards the middle of May.

UK Outlook for Monday 5 May 2014 to Wednesday 14 May 2014: Dry for many on Monday with sunny spells, especially in the south and east where it will feel pleasantly warm with light winds. Northwestern parts, however, will be cloudier and breezier with occasional drizzly rain. Another cold night will follow, away from the northwest, with a frost where skies clear. Rain in the northwest is likely to spread east on Tuesday, although likely not reaching the east until late in the day. This will herald the change to more unsettled conditions for the rest of the week with showers or more prolonged rain, interspersed with drier and sunnier intervals; the best of which in the southeast. It is likely to remain rather changeable into the following week. Temperatures near average, but locally warm in the sunnier periods in the southeast/east.

UK Outlook for Sunday 4 May 2014 to Tuesday 13 May 2014: Generally fine and dry for many through the bank holiday weekend with sunny spells, especially in the southeast where it will feel pleasantly warm. Northwestern parts, however, will tend to be cloudier and breezier with occasional rain and drizzle. These mainly settled conditions may well persist into the middle of next week, with maximum temperatures then a little above average whilst nights become less cold than at the weekend. Northwestern parts, however, are likely to remain cloudier with some rain at times. This cloudier and more unsettled weather probably spreads eastwards at times later next week. This mixed theme with fine periods interspersed with spells of unsettled weather, particularly for western and northern areas where it may also turn cooler later, probably continues for the rest of the forecast period.

UK Outlook for Saturday 3 May 2014 to Monday 12 May 2014: Most areas fine and dry with sunny spells this weekend, although there is a risk of a few light showers in the east on Saturday whilst some northwestern parts may turn cloudier with patchy rain on Sunday. Cold overnight, with fairly widespread ground frost, but daytime temperatures around average so not feeling too bad in sunshine. The mainly settled conditions look to persist through the early part of next week, temperatures then probably rising a little above average with the risk of overnight frost reducing. Northwestern parts, however, may remain cloudier with a risk of rain at times. Thereafter, most likely a return to slightly more unsettled conditions, particularly for western and northern areas, with near average temperatures and still a risk of colder interludes affecting the north at times.

Monthly Outlook Summary Plenty of showers; well I suppose it is April! In true April style this past week we have seen plenty of showers mixed equally with some sunny spells. Low pressure slowly crept in from the Atlantic towards the weekend and brought some more persistent rain for many, but there was still plenty of good weather to be found; most noticeably in northwest Scotland and Northern Ireland. With the start of May just around the corner will the April showers finally relinquish? Read on to find out more... Monday 28 April—Sunday 4 May A new month...new weather? This week looks like it is going to start with a good mix of weather. The wind will continue to blow in from the near continent keeping a stream of cloud, mist and sea fog into eastern and north-eastern coastal areas. This will pin temperatures back into single figures in some parts, but should slowly sink away to the south with an improvement from mid-week onwards. For the rest of us it looks as though the showery picture will persist, at least for the first half of the week, with plenty more thundery downpours and perhaps some localised surface water flooding. Towards the latter stages of next week it looks like a change is on the cards with some unseasonably cold air pushing down from the north. With this cold weather comes also comes a shift to something a little drier. With fewer showers and pressure starting to build the threat changes to a couple of sharp grass frosts overnight into the weekend. Monday 5 May—Sunday 11 May Is the colder weather set to stay? Moving ahead in the forecast it does look like high pressure will stick near to the UK; most likely to the south west. However, low pressure will never be too far away, it looks like it will park itself over to the east of the UK. With this set up the best of the weather would be found in the southwest with the driest and brightest conditions. The northeast, being closest to the low pressure, is likely to see the wettest weather with both showers and longer spells of rain. Monday 12 May—Sunday 25 May Battleground As we venture further ahead into the forecast computer models are currently struggling to determine the winner between high pressure to the southwest and low pressure to the northeast. It looks currently like most of us will see a mix of both; some sunny spells mixed equally with some showers. Next week As the forecast stretches into meteorological summer, will the weather play ball? http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2635167#outlook

UK Outlook for Friday 2 May 2014 to Sunday 11 May 2014: Much colder than recent weeks to start with, with a risk of widespread and locally sharp overnight frosts, particularly on Friday night. Also a risk of a few wintry showers, chiefly to high ground in the northeast. Then a fine, largely dry interlude with winds easing for most places over the weekend, before more unsettled weather arrives into the northwest for the new working week. This is expected to gradually move southeastwards, though its progress remains uncertain, with southern areas staying dry for much of the week. As such, the frost risk should gradually reduce from the north as the week progresses. Thereafter, most likely a more unsettled look, particularly for western and northern areas, with near average temperatures, but a risk of colder interludes affecting the north at times.

UK Outlook for Thursday 1 May 2014 to Saturday 10 May 2014: After a rather unsettled start in the south, with showery rain, colder and drier conditions in the north will gradually spread southwards across the UK through the latter part of the week. However, there will be some showers in the northeast which may be wintry especially over hills. Daytime temperatures, near normal at first, will fall back to rather cold or cold, while overnight frosts are increasingly likely as we head to next weekend. Through the weekend, there will be a good deal of fine of weather in the south, but turning more unsettled from the northwest. Into the following week, the confidence is currently low but the most likely trend is for conditions to become more unsettled, particularly towards the northwest.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 30 Apr 2014 to Friday 9 May 2014: It will be unsettled on Wednesday with showers or longer spells of rain for many. There will be some drier and brighter spells in between. However, colder and more settled conditions are likely to develop across the far north of the UK later on Wednesday, with any showers locally turning wintry over the higher ground of Scotland. The colder and drier conditions in the north will then spread south across Britain through the rest of the week. Daytime temperatures will generally reach around average for the time of year. However, overnight frosts are possible in the north and perhaps locally in the south as well. Into the following week, the confidence is currently low but the most likely trend is for conditions to become more unsettled, particularly in the west.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 29 Apr 2014 to Thursday 8 May 2014: A fairly cloudy picture across much of the UK at first with outbreaks of rain for many, except perhaps the far southeast. Clearer, colder conditions will spread to northern parts late Tuesday and into Wednesday, with some heavy showers giving a risk of snow over high ground in the far north. Later in the week colder conditions and showers will likely spread south to most. It will feel warm in drier, sunny spells, but temperatures will generally be trending downwards to just below average for late April. Through the Bank Holiday weekend there is a signal for more settled conditions to develop, with day time temperatures recovering to average. After Bank Holiday Monday, confidence is currently low but the most likely scenario is a return to more unsettled weather.
