We have moved the clocks forward to British summer time [BST] so the lighter days are with us, as we move into April expect as the name suggests "April showers", feeling warm in the sunshine, but expect some hefty showers with hail ,thunder and yes lightning and towering clouds like this photo above!!! Certainly good growing weather for you keen gardeners! Have a lovely week.... Ian.

Your weekend forecast....

Hi folks! It may be officially Spring, but the weather does not feel it is as it will feel like Winter during this weekend. Squally rain tonight then cold with clear periods, overnight, so a bright start tomorrow, but that wont last as showers develop with hail and thunder, rain sleet and snow in the mix, with some more prolonged wintry showers at times, Sunday similar.! I will be back with your national week ahead forecast and archive weather from 1978 on Sunday...Ian.
