Storm Kathleen brings a swathe of strong winds, especially in the west where gales are likely. Spells of rain turning to scattered showers, though dry for many with plenty of sunshine. Temperatures above average and feeling warm in sheltered spots.
Staying very windy overnight with spells of rain moving in from the west, this heavy at times. Largely dry with clear spells towards dawn, away from the west.
Windy, particularly across the northwest of Scotland. The odd shower though dry for many with a good deal of sunshine. Warm in the southeast. Temperatures nearer average in the northwest.
Winds generally lighter than the weekend though often staying windy and remaining unsettled with showers and spells of rain. Temperatures around average, possibly turning warmer in the south by Wednesday.
Updated:
The ongoing unsettled spell of weather is likely to continue through to the middle of April. However, the focus for the rain and showers is expected to shift to western and northwestern parts of the UK. Here, rain could be heavy and prolonged at times, especially in upland areas. Further windy spells of weather are also likely, particularly in the north. Meanwhile, southern and eastern areas are likely to have some decent drier spells of weather with some sunshine at times. Here, whilst some rain is still likely, this probably less heavy and less frequent than recent weeks. Above average temperatures are most likely overall, although some cooler interludes are possible at times, especially in the north.
Updated:
Through the second half of April and the beginning of May, there is no strong signal for any one weather pattern to dominate over another. As such, further rain and showers are likely at times, but there is also a reasonable chance of some drier and sunnier spells of weather, perhaps most-likely in the north. Temperatures most likely near or a little above normal for the period as a whole.
