Saturday
High pressure remains with us on Saturday. A northerly flow brings cool conditions and sunny spells. There is a risk of some showers in central and northern Scotland, with the risk of showers forming over the Pennines and parts of the Welsh Mountains on Saturday afternoon. These may merge in places in the northwest of England to give longer spells of rain. Dry for most and feeling cool. Highs at 16 to 22 or 23C.

Sunday
High pressure looks set to dominate over the UK and Ireland on Sunday. This brings lots of dry weather with good spells of sunshine. There is a low risk of a shower forming over the Pennines and the Welsh mountains through the afternoon. Temperatures rising to between 19 and 23C but much cooler on eastern coasts at just 15 to 17C.
