It happens every year during mid to late April, visible as short-lived streaks of light in the sky. This year the Lyrids will be active until 25 April and will peak on Tuesday.

While a return to the completely dry conditions of early April is not forecast, Easter does not look like a complete washout either. Good Friday will be a cloudy and wet day across the west of the UK, with the heaviest rain most likely across Northern Ireland. Further east, it will be drier with some sunshine, particularly across central and south-eastern England. Here, the temperature could reach 18C.

Spring is when many of us look forward to more daylight, sunshine and warmer weather, but it is also a great time in the calendar to look up in the night sky. This year we've had aurora displays, a partial solar eclipse, and for the next 10 days, with clear skies permitting, you can enjoy the Lyrid meteor shower. This celestial event happens every year between mid to late April, visible as short-lived streaks of light in the sky.

There will be more sunny days to come this week as high pressure continues to dominate. Temperatures will start to build in the lead up to Friday, where we could see the warmest day of the year so far, possibly reaching 23C or 24C in places. But if you've been enjoying the brilliant blue skies and sunshine across the UK that April has had to offer, make the most of it as this period of settled weather is coming to an end. It will be all change by Sunday with rain in the forecast.

Great day at work chatting about weather and I got to meet Pudsey. And to top it off the lady sat next to me on a packed train asked me how my day was. Then I asked her how hers was. 🥰 https://t.co/3zO4hplFAi

Good Morning! A bright start across the south west with sunny spells. Cloudy later with patchy rain. Cooler than yesterday but still warm with moderate W/SW winds. A cloudy start for the Channel Islands but brighter later. @BBCSpotlight @BBCCINews @BBCDevon @BBCCornwall https://t.co/LjinO9HEJr
