But as May continues warmer settled conditions are expected to make a return.
A statement said: "It is expected to be windy at times, especially around the south and west coasts. Temperatures should remain around average, but with the potential for some warmer days in the east.
"Towards the end of this period, although confidence is low, there are some signs that more settled conditions may return.
"From mid-month until the end of May, conditions look mixed. There is likely to be a mixture of changeable periods of a few days with the chance of thundery showers, but also some periods of drier and sunnier weather.
"Temperatures are likely to be near the climatological average, or maybe slightly above, with rainfall around average as well."
