Turning unsettled and gradually fresher on Wednesday, with thunderstorms moving north.It may feel a little #cooler this weekend along the coasts, and here's the reason why 👇 .

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. .
