Wales and many parts of England get off to a sunny start as the day begins, but further north it will be overcast first thing with some rain in Scotland. As the morning turns into afternoon the cloud lifts in most parts of the UK, but northern Scotland holds on to the cloud though the morning rain does recede. - This is the Met Office UK Weather forecast for the morning of 28/04/2025.

00:00Hello there, a very good morning to you. We'll be experiencing an early dose of summer this
00:05week with temperatures set to be on the rise. We can see from these charts just for the
00:09next couple of days where these dark shades of red really set themselves in, indicating
00:14that temperatures could be 9, 10 degrees above average for this point in late April. It's
00:21all courtesy of an area of high pressure that's building its way in from the continent, helping
00:26to keep things settled, but also routing some warm air in play across most areas of the
00:30UK. We do just have this cold front across the far north of Scotland first thing this
00:35morning, so it is quite damp here. Outbacks of rain for the Highlands, parts of the Outer
00:38Hebrides, eventually over towards Orkney as well. Reasonably breezy across the north as
00:43well. Elsewhere though, there'll be plentiful amounts of sunshine developing, particularly
00:47across England and Wales once any early mist and fog does lift its way off. Skies brightening
00:52into the afternoon, particularly for Northern Ireland, central, southern Scotland as well.
00:56Temperatures generally ranging between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius, so already starting to
01:01see things warm up. Our band of rain in the north will slowly continue its journey into
01:07this evening and overnight, eventually heading towards Shetland for early hours of Tuesday
01:12morning. Elsewhere though, it's a fine evening to come and staying dry. Again, there'll be
01:16some mist and fog patches developing in places. Temperatures in some rural spots may drop down
01:21to around mid or low single figures, but most of us should see those values holding up generally
01:26around 8 to 10 degrees Celsius, so not too chilly of a start to the morning. And that leads us
01:33into quite a fine, pleasant day overall. Plentiful amounts of sunshine in there once again. It
01:39will be a little bit breezy down towards the far southwest as well as into the far north where
01:43it's always going to be that touch cloudier. Some patchy outbreaks of rain and drizzle for the
01:47northern isles at times. But for many of us, it really is going to be quite a wonderful day out
01:52there. And those temperatures really responding to that increasing amounts of sunshine. More widely
01:57cracking the 20 degrees Celsius threshold now, even across Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland.
02:01Mid-20s fairly widely in there for England and Wales, perhaps squeezing 25 to 26 degrees Celsius.
02:08Again, noting just how high those are compared to the average temperatures for this point in late
02:14April. We do need to be aware, though, that with this sunshine, the plants are going to be in bloom,
02:20and so there is going to be high, if not very high, levels of pollen around during the next few days.
02:26It's tree pollen out at the moment, particularly oak pollen, so if you are susceptible to that,
02:31do be aware when you're heading outside. These fine conditions will be continuing into Wednesday,
02:36Thursday, with some signs of a slight change as we head towards the end of the week. But you can find
02:41further updates of what we'll be heading our way during our full week ahead forecast that will be
02:46posted on YouTube later on today. So do subscribe so you know when that is around. And we'll see you
02:52again soon. Bye-bye.
