The UK is experiencing a cool, unsettled spell with frequent showers and brisk winds, as an Atlantic low-pressure system drifts eastwards across the country.

What is the outlook for today and the rest of the week?

Showers will be most frequent across northern and western regions, with some heavy bursts possible in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Southern and eastern areas, including London and the South East, will see longer dry spells but remain breezy. Temperatures will peak around 10–13°C, slightly below the April average for much of England and Wales.

WindGusts up to 35 mph in exposed coastal areas
Rain5–10 mm expected widely, locally 15 mm in the north-west
UV IndexLow to moderate (2–4) across the UK
TravelMinor delays possible on exposed routes; check Moderate Rainfall Warning for Wales

Will the weekend bring any improvement?

A ridge of high pressure is likely to build from the south-west by Friday, bringing drier and brighter conditions for many, especially in central and southern England. However, northern regions may hold onto cloud and patchy rain. Temperatures are expected to rise slightly, reaching 14–16°C in the warmest spots, such as the Warmest Place In Uk Today.

Is it going to stay this windy for long?

Winds should ease from Friday as the low pressure moves away. Breezy conditions will linger in the north over the weekend, but gusts will drop below 25 mph for most inland areas.

Should I expect frost overnight this week?

Overnight lows will generally stay above freezing in towns and cities like Birmingham and York. Rural spots in Scotland and northern England could see a touch of ground frost, but widespread frost is unlikely.

How does this compare to the seasonal average?

Daytime highs are running 2–4°C below the mid-April norm for much of England. This is due to the persistent north-westerly airflow, which is drawing cooler air from the Atlantic rather than from the continent.
