Most of the UK will be dry and bright today. It's a more mixed picture tomorrow with outbreaks of rain in parts of northern Britain. The changeable theme continues early next week, but a notable feature of the weather will be the cold nights which lead to an ongoing risk of frost.

Tonight, patchy spells of rain move southward across the northern half of Britain. Other areas remain dry and it will be cold again. Locally in southern England, Wales and Northern Ireland, temperatures dip below freezing point.
Tomorrow there will be a slow moving band of rain in northern England and southern Scotland. Elsewhere, it remains dry and bright periods develop. The sunniest conditions are forecast to be in East Anglia and the south east. Temperatures will be close to the norm in much of the UK, but it stays cold in the wet areas.
During Monday wet conditions are likely to affect much of England and Wales, with the heaviest rain in the east. Scotland and Northern Ireland have sunny spells and scattered showers. In the wet areas it could be unusually cold for the second half of April.
Tuesday is expected to bring a mix of sunny spells and showers. The most frequent and heaviest showers will be in central and eastern England.
The showery conditions continue on Wednesday. Nonetheless, there should be a reasonable amount of dry and bright weather.
