A drier and warmer outlook still on the cards for next week

Sunshine and showers for the next few days then higher pressure ridging in from the North Atlantic looks to gradually settle conditions down through next week. Largely dry weather is expected, though always more cloud and some rain towards the northwest. Turning warmer across southern areas through the week.

Low pressure continues to move away from the UK while higher pressure over the North Atlantic ridges in creating a north-westerly wind.

Highs at 16 to 24C.
