After a wet start north in the early hours, high pressure builds to clear the skies for plentiful sun and a settled night.

Good morning,

A frontal boundary brings quite an unsettled morning to central and east Scotland, some notable gusty wind here. Breezy in north England too, some patchy rain here. The low pressure core associated with this system will soon pass eastward, drying out the weather and bringing increasingly sunny conditions. From midday onward, the day turns fine for most, wind easing across Ireland and central/southern Britain. A few showers may continue to affect northwest Scotland, an odd patch of rain in East Anglia too, but continuing to improve into evening. High temperatures of 15 to 17C for most of Scotland and Ireland, as well as northwest parts of England and Wales. Central England nearer 21C, up to 24C in the far south.

By nightfall, all areas are dry with substantially clear skies. Essentially no wind across England and Wales, this allowing for some local mist to form. In the later hours, a southwesterly wind will begin to strengthen across Ireland, just a little spotty rain grazing the west coast. A chilly night with lows of 4 to 6C for Scotland, nearer 7 or 8C much of England and Wales. Ireland will be milder, nearer 10C.

Enjoy the afternoon sun!
