Wintry Showers Possible as UK Weather Shifts
17 Apr
Summary
- Dry and sunny conditions expected initially.
- Warmer weather predicted for western regions.
- Wintry showers and potential snow may arrive later.

Initial forecasts suggest high pressure north of the UK will bring dry weather and sunny spells across the country from April 21 to April 30. Central and eastern areas might see scattered showers, with the east coast experiencing cooler temperatures due to an onshore breeze. Conversely, western regions are predicted to be quite warm. However, this pattern is expected to change around April 25.
Unsettled weather is anticipated to return, with potential for wintry showers along northern and eastern coastlines. Snow is also a possibility over the Scottish mountains for a few days. Alternative forecasts suggest a low pressure system could bring rain to southern regions mid-week, while northern areas remain drier. A subsequent north-westerly flow might introduce cooler air with showers or rain moving southeastward, potentially including wintry showers in the Highlands.
