Hi,

Finally a little bit of drier settled weather has arrived and with it some warmth after a cool week with some substantial rainfall, including the wettest day for 6 months.

Thursday should be a dry day with sunny spells after a misty and possibly overcast morning in some places. Feeling pleasant in any sun with light winds. Highs of 17’C. Some cloud may linger on the hills.

Friday looks to follow suit with a day of sunny spells after any early cloud and possible hill-drizzle breaks up and eases. Feeling warm again and it’s likely we may see highs of 21’C in some parts.

The weekend will see a slow change as the high pressure slips away.

Saturday sees a reasonable day across the region with sunny spells breaking through the clouds. Thicker cloud later on could trigger off a few late-afternoon showers. Still pleasantly warm at 20’C.

Sunday sees the change continue. Any bright spells will eventually be replaced by cloud and showery rain pushing slowly in from the west later with an increasing breeze. Highs a little cooler at 17’C.

The outlook for early next week is for it to be unsettled and showery with average temperatures.

Hi,

Diurnal means a big temperature difference between day and night and we will see a perfect example of this, this coming Bank Holiday weekend.

Thursday will be a cooler day than recently and we can expect rain at times. This will push away south later allowing colder air to spread down from the north. A cold northeasterly breeze. Highs of 12’C.

Friday looks a reasonable day with a chilly start. Bright or sunny spells arriving during the day and it should remain dry. Feeling colder as winds are from a northerly direction. A cold night ahead with clear spells allowing for a widespread ground frost and an air frost in rural spots where we could see lows of -2’C so gardeners take note. Frosts in May aren’t common but always possible. Highs of 12’C.

The weekend promises a settled theme as high pressure will be in charge.

Saturday will be a decent day after that cold start. Sunny spells looks the order of the day and remaining dry. Light winds making it feel pleasant in the sunshine with highs at 14’C. A ground frost is possible overnight.

Sunday will see temperatures start to recover a little and it will remain dry with sunny spells. Possibly a little bit more in the way of cloud compared to Saturday. Highs of 16’C and again with light winds, feeling nice.

Bank Holiday Monday sees us hold on to the high pressure for another day so expect dry weather with warm bright spells. Highs of 18’C.

Looking ahead it looks like more unsettled weather with some rain will spread in from the west. To keep up-to-date with your local weather, follow @ChadWeather on Twitter.

Hi,

It’s been a lovely week but all change on Thursday as we lose the lovely Spring sunshine.

Thursday will be a cloudy day with a cool northwesterly breeze with some light rain possible during the morning. Drier later with limited bright spells, a big change from Wednesday. Highs of 11’C.

We are looking at a dry day on Friday but with sunny spells across the region. An improvement on Thursday. Highs of 13’C.

We should see more in the way of sunshine again on Saturday and feeling warmer. A dry day so we can’t complain but it could well be the last of some decent sunshine for a while. Highs of 14’C.

Friday and Saturday night could give a ground frost where skies stay clear the longest so gardeners be aware.

Easter Sunday is a tricky forecast with some uncertainty. It looks like bright spells will be replaced by cloudier skies as the day progresses with a risk of rain into the evening. Highs of 12’C.

Looking ahead signs are it will be unsettled, cool and showery so possibly not a great Bank Holiday Monday.

Hi,

We slipped into a cooler spell recently with some wet days but this forecast promises some drier conditions.

Thursday will be a mainly cloudy day with some bright spells. A band of light rain or showers pushing down from the north-west later in the day fizzling out all the time. Highs of 13’C.

Friday looks a reasonable day with bright spells and staying dry. Winds light and highs of 13’C with a chilly night ahead with a low-risk of some ground frost in sheltered parts.

The weekend promises a lot of dry weather but with variable amounts of cloud so not blessed with copious amounts of sunshine.

Saturday sees another day of occasional bright spells. Later a band of cloud sinks south, weakening all the while with some spots of rain in places. Highs of 13’C.

Similar on Sunday with high pressure not too far away. This means bright spells again, once that band of cloud is out of the way, and generally a dry picture with light winds. Highs of 13’C.

Looking ahead we remain settled for a while but hints are for a cooler and possibly unsettled Easter with chilly winds. We’ll see.

Hi,

I hope you have all been enjoying the warmer weather that arrived as promised. I wish I could promise some more but it looks like the weather is set to turn a little more unsettled and also with a fresher feel and less Saharan Dust.

Thursday looks a mainly cloudy day but some warm bright spells and the odd shower can’t be ruled out. More general rain spreading from the south-west into the late evening. Highs of 16’C.

Early rain on Friday will soon be out of the way to leave reasonable day with brighter skies and a fresher feel to the weather. Well-scattered showers are possible later but only a low-risk. Highs of 15’C.

The weekend looks a mixed bag with temperatures returning to normal April values.

Saturday sees a mostly cloudy picture across the region. Some light rain or drizzle is likely at times, mainly to the west and this spreading across the region later in the day. Feeling pleasant in any brightness to the east. Highs of 13’C.

It doesn’t seem to improve on Sunday as again we can expect mainly cloudy skies with more general rain around which will become heavier and spread east during the day. Highs of 14’C.

Looking ahead it looks to remain unsettled at times with temperatures about normal for the time of year. To keep up-to-date with your local weather, follow Jon, @ChadWeather, on Twitter.

Hi,

Although nowhere near as cold and snowy as this time last year, we are experiencing some chilly days and nights. Good news. The weekend looks warmer.

Thursday starts with the odd shower around after a night of wintry showers. The day looks bright and dry for time before more scattered heavy showers appear into the afternoon and evening. Cold wind. Highs of 8’C

Friday looks mainly cloudy and light showers at times can’t be ruled out. A little brighter towards the east. Slowly becoming milder later in the evening. Highs of 9’C.

I’m not promising wall-to-wall sun this weekend, but certainly a warmer feel to our weather.

Saturday will be less cold and generally dry. Bright spells and for any areas seeing longer spells of sunshine the highs could be 14’C.

No frost worries and Sunday sees sunny spells and with temperatures a little higher. Low risk of a shower into the afternoon especially in hillier areas otherwise a pleasantly warm day with highs of 16’C.

Looking ahead temperatures will stay steady with dry spells and the odd shower.
