Friday
With low pressure close by on Friday it will be a rather unsettled and windy day, especially in the west where gales are expected. A wet start for all but particularly southern and western areas of the UK and Ireland. Patchy light rain across parts of central and eastern Scotland while rain becoming patchy across southern England. More persistent rainfall across Ireland and Northern Ireland and moving in to Wales and southwest England. The rain in the west is expected to spread eastwards through the day, heavy for some and with the risk of localised flooding in parts of more western areas. The southeast corner of England staying dry until later on in the evening. A mild day for most with highs at 11 or 12C in Scotland, Ireland and Northern Ireland and 13C across England and Wales.

Friday night
Rain will continue for all through the first part of the night, heavy still across many places. Through the early hours the rain should gradually clear eastern areas of Scotland and northern England but hold on to the southeast through to first thing on Saturday. Turning drier behind the rain and staying mainly dry in the east but showers pushing into western areas. A mild night, particularly in the southeast, with lows at 4 to 11C.

Saturday
A front across the southeast of England at first, this bringing some morning rain which will be clearing into the North Sea. Becoming brighter from the west with sunny spells, but also some showers on western coasts and hills. Rain may linger for a time in the far southeast as the showers continue over western coasts and hills. Sunny spells and drier elsewhere. Further showers in western Ireland, drier and brighter in eastern Ireland. Highs at 12C in the southeast, 6 to 9C in the west.

Sunday
A day of sunny spells and scattered showers on Sunday. The showers are most likely in western and southern areas. Central and eastern parts are drier with the best of the sunny spells here. Temperatures around or just above average at 7 to 10C.
