As we head into April the high pressure over us currently looks to slide away and pull in more of a trough through the UK and Ireland. It also pulls in a much colder flow initially before temperatures recover to more average though in places staying slightly below average as we head through the month. Hints of a ridge developing later.

*28/3/22 - 3/4/22*
Low pressure dominates over the UK and Ireland.
Mixed to unsettled weather.
Cool to in places cold conditions.
Sleet and snow further north and over higher ground later.
A north to north-easterly flow.

*4/4/22 - 10/4/22*
Low pressure continues to dominate.
High pressure across southern Europe.
Mixed with heavy showers about.
Cool but not as cold as previous.
Less cold west to south-westerly flow.

*11/4/22 - 17/4/22*
Trough out in North Atlantic and over Scandinavia.
Slight ridge develops over UK and Ireland.
A small settling of conditions but risk of rain still about.
Perhaps drier further south.
Temperatures tending to be average or slightly below.

*18/4/22 - 25/4/22*
Hints of a ridge building in again.
Conditions largely dry but some rain/showers about.
Becoming more settled perhaps.
Milder on a possible slight southerly flow.
