Met Office predicts weather to warm up by weekend
Every cloud has a silver lining and the Met Office reckon the weather is likely to warm up by the weekend.
Dr Mark McCarthy, of the National Climate Information Centre, said April’s official figures will be announced tomorrow.
He said: “What we’ve seen in April is a long period of time with the UK under the influence of high pressure, bringing calm and settled weather, especially in the south.
“Early in the month, the Azores High dominated the weather in the south, with low-pressure systems continuing to make some progress in northern areas.
“Later in the month high-pressure remained dominant, but this time centred more towards Scandinavia or Iceland, and over the UK itself.
“What this adds up to is a dry theme for the month, with scattered showers making limited impacts in northern areas.”
