Wednesday
High pressure south of the country through Wednesday morning with low pressure to the north. A broad west-to-southwest flow affects all areas. There will be plenty of cloud in the north with drizzle on the coasts, less cloud in the south and particularly the southeast of England which may become largely sunny. More persistent rain in western Scotland where the winds may remain gale force from overnight into the day. Highs at 9 to 12C.

Wednesday Night
Rain continues to affect central and western Scotland into nighttime with gales. Rain will trend more showery and isolate to the northern areas over the later hours. Mostly dry with clear sky spells further south, though some patchy drizzle continues to affect windward coasts. Lows of 6 to 9C.
 

Thursday
A dry morning for much of England, Wales and the east of Scotland. Some bright spells, and these will be lasting into the afternoon. Always more cloud affecting western coasts and hills with some drizzle over west Wales and southwest England as well as hill fog. More persistent rain in Ireland and later reaching western Scotland, locally heavy. It will be a windy day in northern and western areas. Highs of 8 to 12C.

Friday
A week cold front will be clearing from England and east Scotland on Friday morning, taking outbreaks of rain with it, although perhaps not completely clearing the southeast until late afternoon. Heavy showers follow into western Ireland and increasingly west Scotland, northwest England, and west Wales. Mixed cloud and sun elsewhere, some drizzle onto west coasts too. Highs at 7 to 10C for many but up to 12C in the southeast.
