Monday
Dry and bright for central and eastern England, some sun through high cloud. A slow-moving front over Wales, northwest England and Scotland brings a zone of cloud, rain and drizzle, fairly persistent but drifting eastward and fading during the day. Brighter further west across Scotland, but showery rain moves in later. Dry for Northern Ireland, high cloud retreats to give some sun. Light southerly breezes. Highs 12 to 15C England, 8 to 11C Wales, Scotland and Ireland.

Monday night
A band of drizzly rain encroaches over the Pennines into northeast England during the evening. Patchy light rain for the west and north Midlands and toward the south of Wales and southwest England, fizzling out, but leaving cloudy and some dampness through the night. Dry and fairly cloudy toward the southeast. Clearing skies for Scotland, northwest England and Wales. Showery rain for western Scotland and west of Ireland. Light winds for most. Lows 2 to 5C west & north, 6 to 9C south & east.

Tuesday
High pressure expands across the country but remnants of a front over England and Wales leaves a lot of cloud, locally a little drizzly rain for a time, fading out to be largely dry. Brighter further north and west, with plenty of sunshine for Scotland and Ireland, local mist patches in the morning. Light and variable wind, a southwesterly breeze in northern Scotland. Highs 9 to 13C, mildest in southeast.

Wednesday
High pressure centred just to the east influences most of Britain and Ireland on Wednesday. Cloud and some low-level fog in the morning, tending to break to give sunny spells, but some areas of cloud may be stubborn to clear over England. Southerly breezes strongest in the west and north.
