Last year's Spring was a warm one but rather wet overall with average sunshine. I expect this Spring to be a little less warm but still above the long term average and drier and sunnier than last year. Short-lived cold and wet spells are likely at times but becoming less frequent after mid-April and the potential for blocking situations to develop with hot, humid and thundery weather becoming more common later, especially from May onwards.

A unsettled start with a mixture of cold and warmer days but real Spring warmth is not likely to break through until just after mid-month when more settled, anticyclonic weather is expected to dominate.

Fine, dry and sunny weather should dominate but there are likely to be rather short-lived incursions of cold and wet weather from the Atlantic at times.

Rather more unsettled overall than April with warm, humid and often thundery weather especially later in the month. There is a potential for very hot weather during the second half of the month as blocking situations develop.
