Wednesday starts with heavy showers in Scotland and Northern Ireland. In England and Wales it is dry. Through the day sunny spells develop but the showers become more widespread. They will be heavy and thundery at times, particularly in western and central areas. North eastern Britain should stay mostly dry but near the coast it will be cloudier.   

Temperatures range from 19C (66F) to 23C (73F). See the rain radar for the latest view.

Mixed outlook

Friday brings sunny spells but there will be showers too. The heaviest ones are expected to be in the north and east of the UK. Wales and the south west could miss most of them.   

Forecast details for the weekend remain uncertain. On Saturday a ridge of high pressure is likely to keep things dry and bright in central and eastern areas. In the west cloud thickens and outbreaks of rain push in from the Atlantic.

During Sunday the wet weather probably clears southeastwards with brighter conditions following into much of the country. However, there is a chance of it remaining dry throughout in the south. In Scotland it may be wet for much of the day. There is also a risk of strong winds with gales in the west.
