UK Midweek update

 MIDWEEK FORECAST 
 
Issued every Wednesday. See our weekly forecast  here for the more comprehensive week ahead forecast issued every Saturday.

Saturday / Sunday 25th-26th

Saturday 26th sees low cloud and rain overnight across much of Scotland and this likely to persist through much of the day, slowly moving south into northern England and later N Wales with cloud levels falling accordingly after a fairly bright start.   Becoming a bit brighter across the North Highlands by evening with cloud here starting to break. 

Further south though it should be a dry day with variable cloud, at times a bit hazy, but some good sunshine once any early mist and low cloud clear and generally feeling rather on the warm side, indeed likely to be the warmest day of the year so far in many southern parts.   Winds still strong in places though, especially across the NW Highlands; lighter towards the south and east.

Patchy, mainly light, rain reaching South Wales, the SW and central UK s in the evening and continuing to push further south and east through the night, clearing most upland areas – except perhaps N Yorkshire by morning.

Sunday 27th should start off dry for most upland areas, with variable cloud, slowly lifting above summits. However by late morning, and especially through the afternoon, it looks like we’ll see some widespread showers develop.  These are quite likely to be heavy and thundery in places, especially across Ireland, Wales and the Southern Pennines.  Still fairly warm in the sunshine between showers.  Any lingering low cloud and rain across the east especially over the N York Moors should clear through the day. A moderate SW or westerly breeze for all parts



EARLY NEXT WEEK  

Monday 28th looks set to be another showery day and there’s a chance these could well be heavy at times.  Blustery westerly winds.  Feeling cooler again with temperatures just about up to average for late April.

Through Tuesday low pressure settles over Britain and looks like hanging around for much of the week, keeping it unsettled, windy and wet and bringing temperature down below average.  Some snow possible at times over higher summits in the Highlands.  Continuing unsettled through the May Bank Holiday weekend, though there's the possibility of high pressure to the south ridging northwards to give some southern parts a slightly warmer more settled spell – no certainty though.
