Planning Outlook
Monday is likely showery, risk heavy with lightning in England. An easterly wind then gradually establishes in England and Wales, chilly nights and mornings with patchy dawn mist and light frosts, this soon fading for warm days. High pressure remains dominant through the week: regularly sunny and pleasantly warm days; summit temperatures often at or above 10C, many valleys will warm toward 20C or higher afternoon. Risk of sunburn in strong sunshine and very dry springtime ground conditions with high risk of wildfire. Detail becomes uncertain into next weekend, but a rising risk of showers and longer spells of rain, mostly England and Wales, and likely turning cooler into the following week as wind shifts northerly.
