Cloudy with Rain Later, turning Chilly Overnight!!!

Tonight, that rain clears southwards, leaving clearer spells and the odd shower behind. It’ll turn noticeably chillier, with lighter winds and the chance of a touch of frost in rural spots. Lows near 1°C.
Thursday starts on a chilly note but looks mostly dry with some sunny spells. Sunshine may turn hazy later on as cloud thickens ahead of rain arriving in the evening. It will feel cooler, with highs around 11°C.
Looking ahead, the Easter weekend turns more unsettled, with showers or longer spells of rain at times. Sunday may bring the best of the brighter weather, though it’ll stay breezy with some strong gusts around.
