Dry overall and mild, but then turning chillier next week

A subtle change in the forecast today with colder weather still expected to arrive next week, although perhaps making its presence felt more slowly than previously predicted. There will be plenty of dry weather in the coming days and it is going to be mild. Lots of cloud for most, this breaking in places to give a few bright or sunny spells here and there.

Rain may affect the far west of Ireland. Highs at 12 to 16C.

Little change on Sunday with high pressure remaining over England and Wales. Mist and fog patches may be slower to clear, but once they have the day will be dry with some bright spells.
