It may feel a little #cooler this weekend along the coasts, and here's the reason why 👇 . Sea temperatures are still fairly chilly, so in an onshore breeze, it will feel a little fresher along the coast 🙌🏻💨What plans are you making for the #EasterWeekend? 🐣 . If you not a fan of the heat, head to the coasts where it will be a little cooler in the breeze 🙌🏻 . #easter #weather #loveukweatherEarly fog soon clearing 🙌🏻 Most areas are now fine, dry and sunny ☀️ . Here’s an overview of the next 5️⃣ days 👇 . ⬇️ Today ⬇️ A fine and sunny day once any early mist, fog, and low cloud clears through the first part of the morning. Isolated showers across eastern England later in the afternoon. Feeling cooler for North Sea coasts with an onshore breeze. . ⬇️ Tonight ⬇️ A dry night for much of the UK. Some haze and mist forming across southern and central parts overnight with some patches of cloud and coastal fog elsewhere. . ⬇️ Thursday ⬇️ A warm, dry, and sunny day. Some mist or haze first thing, but this clearing quickly through the morning. Again, feeling cooler for eastern counties with the onshore wind. . ⬇️ Outlook for Friday to Sunday ⬇️ Mainly warm and sunny on Friday and Saturday after early mist or fog quickly clears. Fine and sunny in the south on Sunday, but cloudier with light rain further north. . Big thanks to @pauloparsons for sharing this beautiful image with us 📸🙌🏻 . . #sunny #warmer #weather #landscapephotography #beautiful #loveukweatherDo you like our new way of displaying temperatures 🌡 on a map? . Maximum temperatures during the rest of this week are represented by vertical bars rising from the ground. . Higher temperatures result in higher bars. Those bars also change from colder to warmer colours. . Clearly, much warmer weather is on the way for later this week and the start of the #easterweekend . Increasingly sunny skies from Wednesday will cause temperatures to rise during the rest of this week. . Between Thursday and Good Friday we can expect long spells of sunshine 🌞 throughout the British Isles. Of course, at this time of year the sun is rapidly gaining in strength – don’t forget to slap on the sun cream! – but at the same time, it will feel increasingly warm in the strengthening sun. Temperatures will exceed 20 celsius in many places by Good Friday and on Saturday we could reach 23 or even 24 degrees. . A change in weather is likely later this weekend, as the weather becomes cooler and more mixed from the northwest during the second half of the Bank Holiday weekend. . . . #loveukweather #easter #datavisualization #temperatureHave you had enough of that cold wind yet? 🤔 . If so, we have some good news for you: much warmer 🌡 weather is on the way for later this week and the start of the Easter weekend. . Before that, there will be some cloud ☁️ and rain ☔️ around during Tuesday and Wednesday. It won’t really be until Wednesday afternoon that many of us start to experience brighter and warmer weather. That’s when the wind 💨 changes from chilly easterlies to pleasant southerlies. . Between Thursday and Good Friday we can expect more and more sunshine ☀️ throughout the British Isles. Of course, at this time of year the sun is rapidly gaining in strength – don’t forget to slap on the sun cream! – but at the same time, it will feel increasingly warm in the strengthening sun. Temperatures will exceed 20 celsius in many places by Good Friday and on Saturday we could reach 23 degrees. . A change in weather is likely later this weekend, as the weather becomes cooler and more mixed from the northwest by Easter Monday. . . . #loveukweather #easter #easterweekendThanks @markone15 for the great #LoveUKWeather pic Headline: Chilly but dry for many. Rain in the far west. Today: Most areas dry with sunny spells, although chilly. Isolated showers possible in eastern areas, mainly near the coast. Cloudier and windy in the west with outbreaks of rain at times in Cornwall and perhaps western parts of Northern Ireland. Tonight: Chilly with clear spells and a fairly widespread frost. Showers confined to North Sea coasts. Thicker cloud and possible outbreaks of rain across the far southwest of England and Wales. Monday: Dry with hazy sunshine for many. Cloudier in the northeast with occasional showers. Further rain in the west with some locally heavy rain in the southwest at times. Less cold. Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday: Showery rain moves east and eases on Tuesday. Then mainly dry with sunny spells and overnight mist and fog patches, a few showers in the southeast on Wednesday. Becoming warm.Archives
