Been A while since i've done this after my winter forecast went belly up, but here goes on the new month.

Summary: A changeable month, with some cold snaps and very mild even warm spells, warmer later on.

April will begin on a very mild/warm note as we all know and turn much colder at the weekend.

As the month goes on, it will be mostly cold and showery with some significant snow likely in northern and eastern parts, wintry showers elsewhere, it could well stay quite cold and unsettled for a long period during and into the middle part of the month.

Slowly turning milder from the south west, but staying unsettled, becoming quite mild everywhere, but the risk of another breif cold snap. Towards the end of the month, it will turn dry settled and quite warm, possbily very warm in some southern districts, the first 70f of the year possible, before turning slightly cooler and slightly unsettled to months end.

Overall after a very mild start turning much colder during the middle two weeks or so before turning much warmer, and drier.
