Thu 3 Apr Orkney & Shetland

High pressure will often be centred to the north or east of the UK, maintaining relatively settled conditions much of the time. This should result in lengthy spells of dry weather, probably with a fair bit of sunshine at times, but also an ongoing risk of overnight frosts, especially where winds fall light. There is the chance of some low cloud or sea fog around some coastal areas. Daytime temperatures will tend to fluctuate depending on the wind direction, with potential for both rather warm conditions at times, but also cooler interludes. It may also be rather breezy, perhaps with some occasional showery rain attempting to push into some southern and western areas, especially later in the period.
