The evening will start mostly dry and bright. However, clouds will gradually increase and a few showers will develop overnight, particularly in the south and west. Stay windy. Minimum temperature 6°C.
Sunday April 24: Sunday will start with showers in the west, although these will die down in the morning to leave it mostly dry in the region with bright or sunny spells. Less windy. Maximum temperature 17°C.
Richard Miles, a Met Office forecaster, said temperatures will remain in the mid-teens next week as it will be cooler than the balmy Easter weekend.
He told the Mirror: ‘There is high pressure across the whole of the north of the UK which is blocking any fronts coming in from the Atlantic. He added that this will help maintain normal temperatures for this time of year, but it will still be “pretty cold at night”.
“There will be a few frosts in rural areas overnight, but not much rain. There will be some sunny spells and a breeze early next week. All in all it will be quite pleasant .”
