Winter 2018/19 weather
This evening and overnight outbreaks of rain affect much of the UK and they become very heavy at times in the west. The northern half of Scotland as well as south east England could remain mostly dry.
Tomorrow the wet weather pushes eastwards with further heavy outbreaks at times, but in the afternoon drier conditions return to Northern Ireland as well as much of western Britain. It will be a humid day and in any bright spells that develop temperatures could reach 22C (72F).

On Monday heavy showery outbreaks of rain are expected but in the west showers it becomes drier and sunny spells return. In the sunshine it should feel pleasantly warm.
The rest of the week is looking mixed. The south probably has quite a lot of dry and warm weather as high pressure centred close to the Azores builds northeastwards towards the UK. In the north disturbances from the Atlantic continue to bring the risk of showers or longer spells of rain, and at times they push southwards.
