Dry for many areas, best sunshine in the east, cloud and rain in west

A fair start to the day across much of England and Wales, the best sunshine in eastern areas. Cloudier in Scotland, western Wales and the far southwest of England as well as Ireland. Outbreaks of rain in western Ireland and western Scotland.

This afternoon stays dry for most of the country. Rain in Ireland making for a wet afternoon here, and rain arrives in western Scotland too. A few spots of rain brushing past the far southeast of England. Feeling cooler.

A front passes east through tonight bringing outbreaks of rain. The front is fracturing as it passes and some most of the rain is going to be light. Showers in western Scotland and the far west of Ireland. Some rain too along southern coasts of England.
