Friday
A cold front brings an early band of rain passing southward over southern England and Wales, accompanied by strong and gusty winds at first in the south. Rain fading and clearing for a mostly dry day with sunny breaks across England, Wales and Ireland. Showers will feed into northwest England at times. Scotland will be wetter in the west with frequent heavy showers, whilst east Scotland will see few scattered showers and sun. Blustery for all, particularly Scotland with gales in the far north along exposed coasts. Highs at 14 to 18C in the north (mildest temperatures east), most of England around 18 to 20C, locally 23C far southeast.

Friday night
Dry for many places overnight. Staying blustery particularly in northern areas, fresh westerlies may still gust gale-force around the far northeast of Scotland. Showery rain continues to feed into western Scotland and a few brief showers for northwest England too. Variable cloud in the west, more broken eastwards with some clear spells for central-eastern England. A veil of high cloud to the southwest may tend to thicken. Lows 7 to 11C, coolest in sheltered spots in the north and west.

Saturday
Saturday is dry for England and Wales, some sun but a thickening layer of high cloud tends to drift in from the southwest. Breezy westerlies in the north tend to lessen, but still bring a few light showers to northwest Scotland. A warm front pushes into Ireland bringing patchy rain, drizzle and more humid air as southerly winds increase here. This rain will reach west Scotland into the night; east Scotland likely stays dry with sunny spells during the day. Highs at 16 to 18C for Ireland, Scotland, and north England, 20 to 23C in central and southern areas.

Sunday
Humid and warm southerly air on Sunday. A lot of cloud for west and northern areas, with some drizzly rain over coasts and hills, risk of heavier rain for a time in northwest Scotland. Much of England and Wales are dry, brighter skies east and south with some sun. A few well-scattered showers forming into afternoon. Highs at 24 to 27C much of England and Wales, 20C further northwest and for Ireland, plus the east and north of Scotland, nearer 17C west Scotland.
