Friday
High pressure to the east and a trough of low pressure to the west promotes a freshening southerly wind across the British Isles. Dry for most of Britain all day, with broken cloud and sunshine, best in the east and northeast. Patchy rain coming in from the west, becoming more persistent into the evening in western areas. Highs 6 to 11C, mildest in the west and southwest.

 

Friday night
A front takes a band of patchy, but sometimes heavy, rain eastward across the UK through Friday night. This clears to the eat by Saturday morning. Showers follow to the west for western parts of Ireland, Scotland and Wales and the northwest of England. Some of these will be wintry to the north. Skies clear to the west and southwest later. A windy night with lows of 1 to 6C for most.

Saturday
A front passes eastward with a spell of rain overnight into Saturday morning, clearing eastern counties into the morning. A few clusters of showers follow from the west, but there will be sunny spells too. A brisk southwesterly wind, will strengthen further into the evening and night as more rain comes in from the Atlantic. Highs 5 to 10C.
 

Sunday
A very windy day for all as a deep area of low pressure passes north of Britain. Risk of widespread gales, strongest gusts around exposed coasts in the west and north, topping 70mph. Heavy rain passing eastwards, most prolonged over western hills. Driest toward the southeast of England. Mild air, highs reaching 7 to 14C.
