Plenty more dry, sunny and pleasant weather to come, a bit cooler for a couple of days, but somewhat warmer from mid-week onwards.

Thanks to Peter for the photograph (and to several others that saw my hint!).

So the general picture sees high pressure building over the UK, though that is going to head north and centre itself over Iceland – bringing the cooler easterly flow to start the week.

Sunday starts sunny. Cloud will bubble up from around midday onwards, though there will still be sunny spells. I cannot totally rule out the chance of a light shower by late afternoon, but it’s unlikely. Around 15’C. Reasonably clear skies overnight, down to around 3’C – a small chance of mist/fog patches by dawn.

Monday starts sunny again, and again quite a bit of cloud bubbling up from around midday onwards. A 30% chance of a shower or two in the afternoon. Feeling a bit cooler in the easterly breeze, around 13’C. Some cloud, some clear spells overnight – down to around 4’C.

Tuesday sees a mixture of cloudy spells and sunny spells – sunshine generally more likely in the afternoon. Quite windy and the wind taking the edge off the temperatures, though still around 14’C or so. Mostly clear skies overnight, down to around 4’C.

Wednesday sees long spells of sunshine, probably some high cloud around at times, more so in the afternoon but very pleasant and temperatures nudging up to around 16’C. The easterly wind more of a breeze and turning south-easterly. Some cloud, some clear spells overnight, roughly down to around 5’C.

High pressure still in control by Thursday with a more south-easterly flow allowing something warmer.

There may be some cloud around at times on Thursday morning but more likely it is mostly sunny all day. Quite warm, reaching around 18’C – still with a breeze but the breeze not as cool. Down to around 5’C overnight – potential for mist/fog or low cloud to develop.

Friday may well start with mist/fog/low cloud but this will lift during the morning to long spells of sunshine. Quite warm, around 18’C or so, maybe a tad more. Clear skies overnight though mist/fog/low cloud may form towards dawn again.

Saturday again may start with mist/fog/low cloud but this will lift to long spells of sunshine again. Temperatures more likely somewhere between 17’C and 20’C – though cooler air will be trying to spread down from the north too, so a small chance that it is cooler instead. Say 80% chance the warm air can hang on into Saturday.

By Sunday more likely the cooler weather has spread down from the north, say 70-80% chance, so temperatures back in the range of 10’C to 13’C – uncertainty on cloud/sunshine amounts but most likely dry.

More dry and sunny weather is likely for the end of April and beginning of June, more likely cool to start but it should warm up at least somewhat.

Not bad, huh.
