Temperatures rising into mid-week

High pressure will stay close to the British Isles into next week, maintaining generally quiet weather conditions overall. Occasional weather fronts moving in from the Atlantic will give local rain or showers. Temperatures will become warm thanks to a prevailing south to southwesterly wind.

Wednesday 08/04/20
High pressure to the southeast promotes a warm southerly airflow again. Remnants of fronts may give cloud and patchy rain for northwestern areas, but most places will be dry with sunshine and light winds. High temperatures at 9 to 20C, warmest across central and eastern England.
 

Thursday 09/04/20
Southerly winds look set to continue with further warm spring sunshine expected for most. High cloud likely to build from the west as fronts approach from the Atlantic and patchy rain will push into Ireland. Otherwise, a dry day for most of Britain. Highs 10 to 21C.
 

Friday 10/04/20
A weakening front advancing eastwards is expected to bring cloudier skies and a little rain: most of this in the west, but some patchy, light rain reaches eastern areas later. Breezy across northern regions. High temperatures at 11 to 20C.
