On Saturday a band of rain clears away northeastwards to leave dry and bright spells. However heavy showery rain may break out in the southern half of the UK. Temperatures in the west will be on the low side but a continental air mass wont be far from eastern England, so in any sunny spells that form it becomes quite warm and humid.
Changeable weather continues on Sunday. The details are uncertain but computer models in general are showing a mix of sunny spells and heavy showers.
