Weekend Weather 6/7 April 2002


This is our regular Friday round-up of what's in store for the weekend, but the clickable map below is accessible all week round from the drop down menu above in the 'Get Outdoors' section.

Can the spring-like conditions continue? Erm, sort of. The Online Weather mountain forecast,which is usually quite comprehensible has fallen into a pit of technicalities, but reading between the lines, it sounds like the front which was producing showers in the east is on its way out and the wind will swing round to the east. Temperatures forecast to be around 7 degrees or so on the tops, sunny most areas on Saturday, sunny spells on Sunday. Fresh-ish breezes though.

The Met Office, says sunny everywhere on Saturday, sunny north of the border and in Wales on Sunday but some cloud elsewhere but with sunny intervals. Saturday's general forecast from Online Weather saysdry and bright with high pressure, but cold easterly winds over England. Sunday dry and bright, maybe cloudy on eastern coasts.

Avalanche Information Service now stopped reporting till the winter.

Dry and mostly sunny.
Cold easterly winds.

Verdict Wahey, proper spring-like weather at last. Mostly dry and sunny, though it will feel cooler on the tops on account of the chilly easterly winds so make sure you pack something windproof to take the edge off the chill. Have a good one.
