Who was the one joining my concern for the elderly back in Feb? You seem to forget that extremes that the other end of the spectrum have the same effect. Same with animals.

BBC monthly outlook

Monday 16 April—Sunday 22 April

Turning much warmer and sunnier for most

Many areas of the UK will experience their first proper spell of warm springtime weather this week. Warm south to south-easterly winds will develop for a time between an area of high pressure over Scandinavia and low pressure over the eastern Atlantic.

On Monday, there will be fairly widespread spells of sunshine with a rather warm southerly breeze. However, western Scotland together with Northern Ireland will be cloudier at times and windy with occasional rain.

On Tuesday, much of England and Wales is likely to be dry, rather warm and often sunny but Scotland and Northern Ireland will stay somewhat cloudier and breezier with the chance of further rain.

However, by Wednesday, all parts of the UK should become drier and mostly sunny and less breezy. Temperatures will be widely above the seasonal average; reaching the low 20s Celsius quite widely over England and Wales, perhaps locally with temperatures into the mid-20s Celsius.

Thursday and Friday are also likely to be generally warm and bright but winds are likely to become more easterly, bringing the risk of cooler and misty conditions to North Sea coasts then.

By the weekend 21st/22nd, there is some uncertainty over the details of the forecast. However, it looks as though the high pressure area over Scandinavia may weaken allowing one or two fronts to approach from the west. Therefore, some rain seems likely at times for north-western areas of the UK but with very little rain probably making its way to the south and east of the UK; probably often dry and rather warm there.

Monday 23 April—Wednesday 9 May

A little rain for a while. More settled in to May

The last full week of April is likely to see another change in the weather for most with cooler winds from a north or north-west predominating. Temperatures are favoured to fall nearer to the seasonal norm through the week and may even end up a little below average by the end of the week. One or two night frosts cannot be ruled out, particularly for rural areas. Occasionally, rain or showers are likely to make their way southwards across the UK. The best of any longer drier and brighter spells are likely to be over southern areas. Occasionally, it could be quite breezy but no particularly strong winds appear likely. As we enter early May, models indicate that high pressure should not be too far away from the UK, perhaps often positioned somewhere to the west or north-west of the country. Therefore, a lot of dry and quiet weather is now anticipated through this period with only occasional showers or rain. There should be a lack of windy days too. Temperatures are likely to be not too far from the seasonal average; it should feel pleasant in any lengthier periods of sunshine. The main uncertainty through this period is how far south-eastwards high pressure will exert its influence. Highest confidence for often dry, settled conditions is for north-western parts of the UK. Confidence is lower for southern areas.

Next Update

We will take another look at May to see whether the latest guidance still shows signs of some dry, quiet weather.

BBC monthly outlook

Monday 23 April—Sunday 29 April

Something more typical of April

Drier for a while on Monday as a shallow high pressure ridge crosses the country but the next Atlantic low pressure system will soon bring more rain and drizzle across northern and western regions traversing England and Wales on Tuesday. Meanwhile Scotland and Northern Ireland find themselves in a showery westerly regime with the west seeing most of the showers. Midweek will be windy and unsettled with showers at times in an unstable west to north-westerly airflow. It won't be significantly cold but temperatures will be near or a little below normal. Drier conditions could develop later on Thursday and into Friday with winds easing as a transient ridge of high pressure arrives. Confidence is low for the end of the week with conflicting model guidance but most likely we'll see further changeable weather with low pressure to the north-west of the UK sending bands of rain eastwards. There is a chance that a ridge of high pressure may build across southern areas for a time over the weekend, but the chance of this is only around 25%. Either way, no extremes of wind or temperature look likely.

Monday 30 April—Sunday 6 May

Generally unsettled. Driest in the south-east.

Towards the turn of the month and through the first week of May it looks like a similar situation will prevail with low pressure dominating and high pressure off to the east. Given that alignment it's not going to be significantly chilly, and in fact southern and eastern areas could warm a little above normal at times. Bands of rain will move across the country interspersed with brighter but showery flows and occasionally brisk winds but nothing notably strong. The south and east will get away with longer dry spells but a little rain should still come through at times.

Monday 7 May—Sunday 13 May

Turning more settled for a time

For the second week of May there are still indications that high pressure will build a little more across west and north-west Europe, and a period of dry and quiet weather should result for many areas with temperatures near the mid-spring average. However, through mid-month there are suggestions of this high pressure subsiding as low pressure systems possibly develop closer by to the northwest, potentially bringing a return to breezier and wetter conditions as associated frontal systems move through. Again, northern and western regions will most likely be in the firing line.

Next Update

Will the trend back towards unsettled conditions for mid to late May still be evident or will high pressure try to dominate again later in May?
