Tomorrow showery rain affects southern counties and there could be some heavy bursts around. East Anglia and parts of the south east probably miss most of the rain. Other parts of the UK have sunny spells, but showers bubble up in the north. In Scotland they bring a wintry mix to low levels with snow over high ground. Generally rather cold for the time of year.

Cool and changeable

During Thursday and Friday showers affect central and northern regions. In the north they continue to have a wintry flavour. The south may have an odd shower but it should be mainly dry. There is likely to be a lot of cloud and that holds daytime temperatures down. In much of the country it is expected to feel notably cold for the time of year.

The chilly theme continues this weekend. All of the UK could see showers and some of them may be heavy. Temperatures stay below the average for the time of year and night frosts continue to be a threat.

Forecast details for Bank Holiday Monday are uncertain. Some computer models are suggesting the possibility of longer spells of rain pushing in from the west.
