Thursday 18th April 2024

If you’re an early bird, it's a chilly start with just 2°C at 6 am, but the sun will be coming and going, so that should warm things up a bit. By 9 am, you might still want to keep your jacket handy, though, because we're hanging around 8°C.

Moving into the evening, don't put your umbrella away just yet! From 2 pm onwards, there’s an increasing chance of rain, hitting its peak at around 4 pm with a 75% chance of getting wet.

If you're out late, the rain's backing off, but it’s still quite likely until around 10 pm. After that, it should be dry if a bit brisk, with temperatures sticking to 10°C.
