A cool west to north-westerly flow influences the country, producing another day of sunny spells and beefy April showers. Hail and local thunder possible.

Staying mixed, with further showers, although may be more scattered. Lighter winds so showers would move around slowly. Sunny periods. Further rain may come back into the north-west as fronts return from the Atlantic later. Feeling fresh, but pleasant in the sun. Highs 11 to 16C.
