Still rather changeable at the start of this period, with further frontal systems moving across the UK, bringing rain and stronger winds at times. Through late March, high pressure is likely to be located to the southwest of UK, with a predominantly westerly or northwesterly airstream in place. Further weather fronts are likely to round this high, bringing occasional rain to the north and perhaps east of the country, whereas areas further southwest stand a better chance of being drier. In this setup, temperatures will probably pan out close to average overall, with some overnight frost where skies are clear and winds light. Into early April and high pressure may become rather more dominant, with many areas seeing dry, settled conditions.

High pressure will probably be dominant at the start of this period, the centre of which transferring from somewhere west or southwest of the UK to somewhere to the north of the UK. As such, plenty of dry weather seems most likely, but with changes in wind direction leading to some quite marked differences in cloud amounts and temperature from day to day. Moving further into April, there is an increasing chance that high pressure will become less dominant and thus there is a greater chance of more places seeing some rain and possible stronger winds from time to time. Overall, temperatures panning out somewhere near to average.
