Getting brighter and drier but feeling cool, especially in the east

As higher builds through the weekend and into next week it will become drier. The northeast wind means that despite more sunshine it will be feeling cool for many, warmest of the weather to the west. An increasing risk of some drizzle affecting eastern and southern coasts and hills.
