A frontal boundary currently splits the UK in two with Scotland on the much cooler and unsettled north side. A stiff westerly wind has been blowing frequent showers across the country through today and by tonight, a more organised area of rain will sweep in from the west bringing a spell of rather wet weather tonight. Winds shall remain fresh to strong with gales along the coast. Lows tonight dip no lower than 4 or 5C but it may be cool enough for snow over the hill tops.

While Wednesday remains blustery, the overnight rain should be clear of most areas by mid morning, leaving for a decent afternoon with a mix of sun and showers. Temps should hold at 9 to 11C for most but in the sheltered Northeast, parts of Aberdeenshire could reach 14C.

It turns even cooler through the second half of the week as winds turn NW’erly.

England

For most areas, Tuesday has been a fairly decent day, particularly in the South as temperatures widely climbed into the 16-18C range with a few spots reaching 20C. Over the course of tonight, winds will remain fresh to strong across the west and north with an area of rain pushing into Cumbria and Lancashire tonight. These rains may push as far south as Liverpool and Manchester but points south should stay drier although fairly cloudy. Overnight temperatures will drop no lower than 6 to 8C in the North, closer to 10 or 11C in the South.

Through Wednesday the frontal boundary seperating colder air over Scotland with warmer across across southern England will keep skies cloudy and damp from Cumbria down towards Manchester but further south there should be more in the way of brighness towards Birmingham and sunshine towards London. Where the sun shines, temperatures should climb towards 21 or 22C around Greater London with an odd 23C possible over Kent or East Anglia. From Birmingham north highs should be closer to 13 to 16C and nearer 11 or 12C up towards Carlisle.

The front sags south during Thursday and by Friday, all areas are much cooler.

Wales

Tuesday was a very pleasant late April day across much of Wales with mostly bright or sunny skies and temperatures rising into the 13 to 16C range. Unfortunately, conditions go down hill tonight as a frontal system introduces wet and increasingly blustery weather and this really sets the scene for a Wednesday of sunshine and showers, somewhat cooler with the breeze and shower activity. Winds could be gale-force around Anglesey. Highs range from 12 to 15C.

It turns much cooler with the return of hill snow during the second half of the week.

Northern Ireland

After a fine spring day throughout much of Ulster with few showers around, it’s all change come tonight as an area of rain spreads in from the Atlantic bringing a spell of wet weather to all overnight. Temperatures are likely to be down from yesterday’s 17C at Murlough and today’s 14 or 15C in a few spots with highs tomorrow nearer the 11 to 13C range with frequent showers blowing in on a stiff westerly breeze.

The second half of the week turns cooler with night frosts likely to return.

Ireland

Temperatures are finally on the rise across Ireland with the southern interior seeing highs reach 16 or 17C in the sunnier, sheltered spots. Unfortunately the Atlantic spoils things tonight with an area of rain spreads in across northern and western parts but across the Midlands and into the South, it should stay dry with some mist and fog forming. Lows dip to a somewhat cooler 5 or 6C in the breezier west and north but in the south, it shouldn’t get much below 10C tonight.

The front associated with tonight’s rain will slowly push south through the second half of the week, introducing cooler air once again by Thursday onwards.
