View the weather with our interactive map
Cloudy with outbreaks of rain and strong winds.
A wet and windy day. Low cloud and rain moving in during the morning, turning heavy and persistent at times. This mostly clearing by the afternoon, leaving behind a risk of scattered, heavy showers. Gales possible along the coast. Maximum temperature 22 °C.
Scattered showers dying away through the evening and the winds easing. Then a generally dry night with some clear spells. Minimum temperature 13 °C.
Unsettled with a mix of sunny spells and showers, possibly heavy at times. These may be more frequent in the morning, and clear away by the evening. Maximum temperature 20 °C.
Drier and more settled on Friday and Saturday with good spells of sunshine, though the odd shower is possible. Outbreaks of rain likely on Sunday with winds strengthening.
Updated:
Much of this period will be unsettled, with low pressure systems tending to dominate the overall pattern. This will mean showers or longer spells of rain will affect much of the UK at times. Some heavy rain or showers are expected in places, most often in the west and north. Thunderstorms and hail are also possible, as are some spells of strong winds, especially if any deep areas of low pressure form in the vicinity of the UK. Later in the period, there may be some longer spells of drier weather that develop, with more in the way of sunshine due to higher pressure. Temperatures will likely be close to average or slightly below overall, but may rise above at times in any drier, sunnier spells.
Updated:
Low pressure may dominate for much of this period, bringing largely unsettled weather conditions with showers or some longer spells of rain at times. Some windy weather is also possible at times, especially if any deep lows form in the vicinity of the UK. There are likely to be some drier, more settled interludes though, particularly at the start of the period. Temperatures are likely to be close to or a little above average overall.
