Storm Kathleen to bring strong winds
Low pressure will bring windy conditions and continued showers, especially in the west, as well as above average temperature in East Anglia.
Read moreStaying very windy overnight, especially in the west. Spells of rain moving in from the southwest, this evening, heavy at times with the risk of thunder but moving northeastwards quickly. Largely dry with clear spells elsewhere towards dawn.
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.
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 good sunshine at times. Here, whilst some rain is still likely, this probably less heavy and much less frequent than recent weeks. Above average temperatures are most likely overall, although some cooler interludes are possible at times, especially in the north.
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, perhaps most-frequently in the north and northwest. There is also a reasonable chance of some drier and sunnier spells of weather, with these likely being more frequent towards the south and east. Temperatures most likely above normal for the period as a whole.
