Nearly constant showers in the northwest; plenty of sunshine south and east except for the interlude of afternoon showers.

Good morning,

The constant stream of showers continues across Ireland and west/central Scotland; no news here. Eastern areas of these countries will start drier with bright skies too, but with a rising chance of showers reaching further east with time, particularly in the afternoon.

England and Wales start mostly sunny, bar a few showers affecting the western coasts. Fair weather cloud begins building through the morning, which will turn to showers by the afternoon, with some risk of local heavy bursts in the middle-afternoon. The showers will wear themselves out to a bright-sky evening, as will any showers in east Scotland. High temperatures will reach 7C in Scotland and 11C in the south.

England keeps largely clear skies overnight, particularly in the south and east. The east of Scotland may well keep some clear skies well into the night as well. Further west, a warm front approaches Ireland from the Atlantic, brining patchy rain to most of the country, and then reaching western Scotland. Only in the later hours may a few patches of rain reach western Wales and northwest England, but it will otherwise be dry around here but increasingly cloudy.

Keep an eye to the sky - those showers can show up quicker than you think.
