UK Weather

Thursday 30th April

Good morning. This Thursday, 30 April, brings a very spring-like split across the UK: plenty of dry, bright weather for many, but a wetter and windier spell affecting the far south-west.

For much of England and Scotland, it’s a fine day with long sunny periods. After quite a chilly start in parts of northern England and Scotland, temperatures will lift nicely, reaching the high teens widely and around 20 or 21°C through the Midlands, north-west England and some western areas. It should feel pleasantly warm in the sunshine, though a noticeable breeze may take the edge off in exposed spots.

The south-east stays dry and bright, with temperatures close to 20°C inland, while eastern coastal areas will be a little cooler, held back by the breeze off the sea. North-east England also looks mostly dry, but fresher than areas farther west.

Wales should see a good deal of brightness and a warm feel, with temperatures perhaps into the low twenties in places, although winds will be more lively towards western coasts. The south-west of England is the main exception today: rain moving in during the morning could be quite persistent at times, with blustery conditions too, so travel may be slower and outdoor plans could need a rethink.

Northern Ireland has a rather mixed day — some sunny breaks, but also the chance of a little patchy light rain or drizzle. Nothing too dramatic, but enough to keep the ground damp in places.

Overall, away from the far south-west, it’s a mostly dry and cheerful spring day, warmest across western and central parts, with coastal areas feeling cooler in the breeze.
