Another rather chilly day with further scattered, perhaps wintry, showers arriving from the northeast through the day. These interspersed with some bright or sunny spells. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Drier and more settled this weekend, with some sunshine at times. Still rather chilly with overnight frosts, but feeling pleasant in afternoon sunshine. Scattered showers returning from Monday.

The dominant area of high pressure will gradually drift away to the east of the UK through the early part of next week. So initially there should be a good deal of dry weather with sunny spells by day, but still some chilly nights with frost in places. The odd fog patch is possible in the north, and a brisk breeze across the south will make it feel chilly here when out of the sun. Beyond that we will see a gradual transition to less settled conditions. So rain or showers are expected at times, mostly focussed across the south at first, then more widely later. With winds predominantly coming from the south next week it will also become much milder, possibly warm in places.

Confidence is low, but through the end of March changeable weather patterns are most likely. This means periods of unsettled, wet and windy weather interspersed with some drier and brighter spells. Into early April, there may be a transition to more frequent drier and more settled spells. Temperatures will probably be above average overall.
