A fine week ahead and it will gradually warm up. Something different for you next week…probably.

No photograph. Don’t blame me!

Tonight sees mostly clear skies, down to around 8’C though that chilly easterly wind persisting.

Tuesday will see long spells of sunshine. The easterly wind persists once more taking the edge off, but we should reach 17’C. A little bit of high cloud at times. Clear overnight, down to around 9’C.

Wednesday sees long spells of sunshine again. The breeze lighter and temperatures up to around 19’C, maybe 20’C. Clear overnight, down to around 6’C.

Thursday sees long spells of sunshine again. I should really just copy and paste the above. Warm, 22’C, maybe a bit more. Clear overnight, down to around 6’C – maybe a bit of high cloud around.

Friday sees a bit more cloud around, mostly high cloud so we’ll still have a fine day with sunny spells – just hazy sunshine. Warm, 20’C – maybe a bit more. Variable cloud overnight, 8’C.

For Saturday we are in this zone of nothingness – a Col to go by the official name.

Neither high or low pressure close by, sunny spells, some cloud will bubble up with a smallish chance of catching a shower. Around 18’C. Variable cloud overnight, down to around 6’C.

Not especially confident yet for Sunday, but the most likely outcome is for more cloud than sun, and some showers around – a small chance of more general rain. Around 16’C but could easily be a few degrees either side.

Next week is still in the balance. Probably going to be cooler. Probably going to see some more rain/showers.

The general picture likely sees high pressure to our north and low pressure to our south, the uncertainly is mainly over position and strength of low pressure – we could end up with a rather cool and showery week, or we could end up with a rather cloudy and cool week. Broad trend – some differences.

I did mark out end of April and beginning of May in my seasonal forecast as potentially unsettled, and I’m still sticking with that.

I’m also still sticking with a plenty of sunny warm/hot weather for the rest of May and much of June.
