From the Met Office
UK Outlook for Wednesday 1 May 2013 to Wednesday 15 May 2013:
Current indications suggest fairly typical spring weather will continue into the start of May. In the absence of any strong signals for trends in precipitation through the start of the month, it is most likely that there there will be periods of rain or showers, particularly across northern and western parts, but also drier and brighter interludes, especially in the south and east. Temperatures will be generally near average, if not slightly below, particularly across coastal areas, but it may turn warmer, especially inland, in any sunnier spells. During the latter part of the period, there are suggestions that the weather turns more settled across the UK, with below average rainfall and more sunshine. As a result, temperatures are likely to recover somewhat, and it may turn warm in places.
Looking promising
