Changeable week ahead

[Updated 08:30 13/08/2017]

The outlook remains changeable. There will be wet weather at times in the next couple of weeks but also some drier spells, especially in the south.

Sunday is off to a fine start and through the morning sunny spells develop widely. This afternoon cloud builds in the west. Elsewhere it remains bright but a few showers bubble up in the north.

Temperatures range from 15C (59F) in the north to 22C (72F) in the south east. See the rainfall radar for the latest view.

Tonight cloudy skies spread eastwards and outbreaks of rain push into the west. By the end of the night wet weather is expected to have reached Northern Ireland and much of western Britain.

Tomorrow outbreaks of rain become increasingly patchy as they push eastwards. Bright spells are likely to develop to the east and west of the wet areas. In the west heavy showers are likely during the second half of the day and overnight they push eastwards.

On Tuesday early rain clears from the east to leave sunny spells and showers which will be heavy in the north. The mixed them continues on Wednesday with heavy outbreaks of rain spreading eastwards.
