On Saturday wet and quite windy weather is expected in the north. The heaviest outbreaks of rain affect western Scotland with areas to the east of high ground remaining drier. Southern and central regions have a fine and pleasantly warm day.
Through Sunday outbreaks of rain spread southeastwards into northern England. Behind them it turns colder and showery. Southern and central counties remain dry and quite warm. Temperatures possibly approach 20C (68F).
Early next week a band of patchy rain clears southwards. After that has moved away high pressure builds strongly and becomes centred close to, or just to the west of the UK. That leads to settled weather and the risk of nighttime frost and fog increase.

During the next couple of weeks we'll be working hard to migrate our website and services to cloud based servers. Very appropriately for a weather based business you may say! The transition means big changes behind the scenes and they could could lead to some service disruption and snagging problems. Once the move is complete we'll have a much flexible platform that makes it easier to expand and provide new services in the future.
