The weather is unfortunately expected to turn a little cloudy into next week, it will remain dry with a gentle breeze.

On Wednesday, you should expect some hail showers from around 5 pm with a chance of sleet overnight from 10 pm.

The Met Office has a similar outlook in its short-range forecast with the weather expected to be bright and sunny across the weekend.

However, its long-range forecast says that "wintry showers" are still very much on the cards.

The Met Office says: "Wintry showers remain possible, particularly in the north. Later next week and beyond, unsettled conditions are likely with more frequent showers or longer spells of rain for many areas.

"After a spell of below average temperatures next week, temperatures are likely to return to near average later in the period."

The long-range forecast says that the unsettled weather could continue into the beginning of April. 

The weather forecaster added: "Showers or longer spells of rain are more likely to be seen across the UK, although short drier and more settled interludes are still possible. Showers may be heavy at times, with thunder and hail.

"Moving into mid-April, there is a trend for a return to more settled weather again, although some rain and showers are still possible in places.

"Temperatures are likely to be near average, with the south and southeast on the slightly warmer side."
