Mixed with rain in places

[Updated 08:30 23/03/2017]

Thursday begins damp across much of England, and in the north and to the south of London there are outbreaks or rain. In Scotland and western Wales clearer skies overnight have led to quite a widespread frost.

As we head through the day it becomes drier in the north and sunny spells develop. In the south outbreaks of rain gradually spread westwards, but during the afternoon they ease off and the cloud begins to break. 

Maximum temperatures range from about 5C (42F) in Scotland to 10C (52F) in the south. See the radar for the latest view.

Tonight the rain in the south fades away to leave mostly dry conditions. In the north frost returns.

Tomorrow will be mostly dry as high pressure builds strongly over the UK. Cloud amounts vary and in the south a keen easterly wind will make it feel chilly.

During the weekend it stays mostly dry. Saturday should bring a good deal of bright and mild weather. On Sunday thicker cloud and drizzle pushing westwards across England and Wales will make it feel quite chilly again. 

Next week high pressure brings a good deal of dry weather and it looks set to become pleasantly warm. Through the second half of the week there is a chance of more unsettled conditions returning in the west. Buzz looks ahead to the next couple of weeks.
