Weather Forecasts for 8th/9th April?

Any ideas where I can get a halfway vaguely likely forecast for the 8th/9th in Plymouth? Trying to decide whether to go for a weekend diving and past experience of Plymouth has usually revolved around the Sea Life Centre rather than the sea

Fat chance!

Long range forecasts are as good as tossing a coin, next week have a look on

http://www.bbc.co.uk/

and type in Plymouth on the weather map, and

http://www.meto.gov.uk/leisure/iswfplace.html

for the sea.

Cheers Freeflow i'd seen the BBC Monthly Outlook thing already, but can't find anything more specific. Was hoping there might be a local news / weather thing down there in Plymouth / South West generally, or someone with a bit of local experience might have a better idea?

This is what i've got so far:
"Monday 3rd to Sunday 16th April
The wintry joke should just about be over by April Fool's Day with high pressure giving way to a more changeable air stream. Sunshine and showers are expected but temperatures will continue to struggle right up to the Easter period.
Night frosts will remain a feature of the forecast for the foreseeable future but as the sun continues its passage north, it will inevitably gain sufficient strength to make it feel pleasant at times."

The only useful bit is "changeable air stream" which doesn't mean a lot, really...

I've not got any diving plans that weekend (off being best man at a wedding) so it should be glorious sunshine, with great vis and no wind.

Looking at the forecast, no diving again this weekend
