On Friday rain affects most of the UK. It will also be windy and severe gales are likely in the north west with gusts in exposed coastal locations possibly reaching 80mph. In eastern areas the rain is expected to be patchier. Ahead of the wet weather it will be quite warm.
This weekend is looking changeable but there is uncertainty about the balance between high pressure centred over the continent and low pressure areas in the Atlantic. Western areas have a wet and windy Saturday but the east may stay mostly dry. In any sunny spells that develop it will be warm. Overnight and into Sunday the rain clears eastwards and is followed by brighter and cooler conditions.
