Most places dry all day with variable cloud and sun. Winds fairly light, but feeling chilly if exposed over higher terrain. Locally breezier in northern Scotland. A weak front drifting in from the northwest brings a little rain or drizzle to the northern Highlands mainly into afternoon.
Dry with broken cloud, hills clear. Breeziest in east.
Northwesterly 15mph, to 20mph on Cheviots, at times 25mph in the morning.
Mostly small, but locally breezier toward the east giving marked chill factor where exposed on tops, especially around The Cheviot - in contrast to feeling pleasant where sheltered if in sunshine.
Precipitation not expected
Little if any
Any fragments soon dispersing, most cloud above the hills.
90%
Patchwork of sun and cloud. Some high cloud may build. Visibility excellent.
Near 0C at first, especially eastern hills, rising to 4 to 6C afternoon, highest west. Wind chill feeling like -7C in east early in day, still sub-zero in breeze in afternoon.
Slight frost in sheltered valleys and near freezing some higher eastern hills at first. Lifting well above freezing to all tops.

Northerly 15 to 25mph.
Fairly small effect on walking, but marked wind chill on exposed higher terrain.
A little rain on and off
Patchy showery rain, mostly eastern areas.
Most extensive east
Varied banks of cloud, may persist over higher slopes in the east all day. Breaks west of the M74.
40%
Often cloudy, some sun in west. Visibility good, but reduced in showers.
6C, later dropping toward 0C Cheviots. Wind chill feeling near or below 0C on higher tops.
Above the summits, but starting to lower by evening, into night dropping toward 800m eastern areas.
Into early next week, high pressure will be centred toward the northwest, with sunny spells and scattered light showers. Northerly winds bring lower temperatures into midweek, near or below freezing over higher terrain, coldest toward the east. Lowering pressure is expected later in the week, turning more widely showery again with upland snow, plus hail. Day-to-day variations in extent of showers and cloud amounts. Cool conditions are likely to continue toward the change of month into early May, at least in Scotland.
