Friday
Friday promises to be a drier and brighter day for many as a ridge of high pressure builds in. A few light showers in western areas, particularly western areas of Scotland, some reaching into central and eastern areas. The afternoon will see rain affect the south of Ireland, gradually becoming more widespread into the later hours, and becoming heavy in the south with winds becoming blustery. Cloud will begin to develop more broadly over west and central England including Wales. Shower risk continues in Scotland. Highs at 14C in northern Scotland, 19C in southeast England.

Friday Night
Overnight, rain continues to spread eastwards and affect much of Ireland into Northern Ireland, central and western parts of England and Wales where rain will fall heavy at times with blustery winds. Scotland will stay largely dry until the early hours when rain will affect southwestern areas and then the Central Belt. Lows will generally be between 7C further north and 12C in the south.

Saturday
Saturday starts wet and breezy for many across Ireland, England and Wales, though the rain soon clears from the west and winds should ease with sunny spells developing particularly across Wales and Midlands. Southern and southeastern counties of England will remain largely unsettled with outbreaks of rain. Northern Ireland, however, will remain wet throughout. Scotland will see the patchy rain ease across central areas though more persistent rainfall is expected to affect far western areas as the day progresses. A muggy feeling day with highs at 16 to 21C.

Sunday
Sunday will see many northern and western areas of the UK be affected by showers as well as longer outbreaks of rain, while central and eastern areas should remain mostly dry with sunny spells and feeling pleasantly warm. Northern Scotland will see rain ease and become brighter with sunshine. Rain largely clearing southern Irish counties though staying wet further north and into Northern Ireland. Highs at 17 to 22C.
