A complex weather pattern continues this weekend and early next week as slow-moving centres of low pressure drift around toward the west and south, bringing mostly easterly winds with varied speeds day-to-day. However, a good deal of dry weather over the Easter weekend, just isolated showers. Into next week, areas of showery rain, most widely England and Wales on Monday and Tuesday. Drier for the Highlands as high pressure expands in from the north. Largely dry for England & Wales from midweek. Often on the cool side, particularly eastern hills, near to freezing higher Scottish tops. Warmest and sunniest in western regions. Occasional frost overnight into glens.
