Thursday
West-southwesterly breezes prevail on Thursday, bringing patchy rain to some western areas though most will stay dry with sunny spells in the morning. Clouding over with rain moving into Ireland and spreading into north England and Scotland with time, setting in for many with heavy falls. Wales and central/southern England stay largely dry with sunny spells, though breezy here as well. Quite warm too with highs of 20 to 23C for most of England, to up to 27C in the urban southeast. Cooler north where highs approach 16 to 18C, quite mild in northeast Scotland.

Thursday Night
Heavy rain persists in north England and will pass south into Wales and central England, approaching southern England in the later hours. Southern areas will see a period of quite strong wind. Behind the band of rain, cloud will break up somewhat, but showers will then follow into western parts of Ireland and Scotland, with strengthening here as well. Lows of 15 to 17C in England, locally warmer in the far south; nearer 10 to 12C in Ireland and Scotland.

Friday
On Friday, a thin band of rain will soon pass south out of Wales into southern England, and further break up for a mostly dry day with sunny breaks across England, Wales, and Ireland. Showers will continue filtering into northwest parts of these countries for a time, but gradually ease back. Scotland will be wetter in the west with frequent heavy showers streaming in from the northwest; ease Scotland will see few scattered showers and sun. Blustery for all, particularly Scotland with gales in the northwest along exposed coasts. Highs at 14 to 18C in the north (mildest temperatures east), most of England around 18 to 20C but up to 24C in Kent.

Saturday
Saturday is dry for England and Wales, often sunny particularly towards the south. Further west, a core of low pressure will draw a band of rain northward across Ireland, though the rain may well be patchy in most places, the greats risk of any heavy falls towards the west coast. This rain will reach west Scotland later in the day; east Scotland likely stays dry with sunny spells during the day, then patches of rain will push here overnight as well. West Ireland will become quite windy. Highs at 16 to 18C for Ireland, Scotland, and north England, nearer 20 to 22C, in central and southern areas.
