We've had mixed April weather so far, as snow fell yesterday in some areas of Wales while the sun shone elsewhere.
The Met Office say at this time of year we are in a transition period between the long, cold winter months, and the warmer spring.
"The jet stream starts to move northwards, which can bring the first signs of warmth, but also tends to make our weather more unsettled due to low pressure systems being driven towards the UK, and so we get rain, showers and strong wind," the forecasters explain.
The forecast today
The Met Office say we should expect a mixed day today with outbreaks of rain gradually becoming confined to the west. "Eastern areas will see brighter skies where it may feel a little milder," they say. Maximum temperature 13 °C.
The BBC report it should be fine in the morning but there could be more cloud in the afternoon, perhaps with the chance of a few spots of rain. It should feel warmer than recent days, though.
Saturday
The good news is that Saturday is looking dry for the most part, according to the BBC. Cloud cover will tend to be extensive, however and under the thickest cloud then a few spots of rain are possible
Sunday and Monday
Sunday could see some sharp showers, but there should still be some fairly lengthy dry spells, BBC forecasters say. On Monday is should be mostly dry, but maybe keep a brolly on you just in case.
