The week begins on Tuesday 14 April with overcast skies and daytime temperatures reaching 15°C. Residents can expect a 40% chance of rain starting from 5pm, which is set to increase to 70% by 11pm. Wednesday 15 April will likely be the wettest day of the week, with light rain throughout the day and a 90% chance of heavy precipitation by 4pm, accompanied by gusty winds reaching up to 30mph. Temperatures on Wednesday will peak at 17°C before dropping to a low of 9°C overnight.

Conditions are expected to improve from Thursday 16 April through to Monday 20 April, with the forecast showing predominantly sunny intervals mixed with clouds. While some morning and early afternoon rain showers are possible on Thursday and Friday, the latter is expected to be the warmest day of the week with a high of 18°C. Weekend temperatures will range between 16°C and 17°C, though residents should be prepared for cooler evenings, with temperatures dropping to 7°C.

Those planning to spend time outdoors during the sunny intervals should be aware that UV levels are forecast to be moderate, and the Met Office advises the use of sunscreen during midday hours. Additionally, high pollen levels, particularly birch pollen, are expected throughout the week. While air quality is currently reported as low, indicating good conditions for outdoor activities, the upcoming week serves as a return to more typical, unsettled spring weather after the record-breaking sunshine experienced in the UK during April 2025.
