This evening showers fade away to leave clear spells. By the end of the night cloudier skies and showery rain spreads into the west.
Tomorrow an area of low pressure pushes eastwards across the UK. That brings showery spells of rain and there will be some heavy bursts mixed in, particularly in the north. Winds strengthen, especially across the southern half of the UK. During the afternoon brighter skies return from the south west.
