Monday begins with showery outbreaks of rain in England but elsewhere it is mainly dry. This morning rain continues to affect southern and central areas, and at times it could be heavy. In the afternoon the rain becomes lighter and increasingly confined to eastern England. Wales, Northern Ireland, northern England and Scotland have sunny periods but in the far north west there will be some showers.
The south eastern corner will still be sitting under a warm upper level air mass so temperatures could reach 18C (64F). Elsewhere values range from 7C (45F) in the far north to 13C (55F) in the south. See the rain and lightning radar for the latest view.

Wednesday sees the outbreaks of rain slowly spreading southeastwards into central areas, but they become patchy. Ahead of them it will be quite warm again. Temperatures remain close to the seasonal average in the north and west.
Through Thursday and Friday high pressure becomes the dominant feature of the UK's weather. That means most of the country can expect it to be dry with sunny spells and close to average temperatures. In Scotland there is a greater risk of Atlantic disturbances bringing rain.
At this stage the weekend is looking fine in the southern half of the UK. The north probably remains more changeable and on Sunday a band of rain may begin to push southeastwards.
