    Plenty of sunny spells, though the odd shower too.

    Today:

    Early morning mist and fog will soon clear to leave another widely fine day. Plenty of warm sunny spells, though a few showers possible in the far southwest. Becoming hazier into the afternoon as cloud thickens from the west. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

    Tonight:

    Mild this evening and overnight, with rain arriving from the west, this heavy at times. Showers to follow by dawn, and becoming increasingly breezy, especially around the coasts. Minimum temperature 13 °C.

    Saturday:

    A mixture of brighter spells and scattered, blustery showers, these perhaps heavy at times. Breezy, particularly along the coasts, but mild, even humid, for many. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

    Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

    Changeable with further scattered, blustery showers at times, but some drier, brighter interludes as well. Staying rather breezy, especially around the coasts, with temperatures a little above average.
