The Met Office’s long-range forecast between April 11 and 25 reads: “Weather patterns are most likely to remain slow-moving through the middle of April.

“High pressure will probably be centred to the north of the UK, bringing a lot of fine and dry weather. If there are any interludes of rain or showers, particularly later in the month, these are more likely to affect the south of the UK.

“Temperatures are likely to be above average overall, and feeling warm inland with light winds during the day, although some cold nights are still possible under any clear skies."
