Becoming unseasonably mild

By Wednesday a change starts to take place as high pressure over the continent builds and exerts its influence. The northern half of the UK has a wet and windy day, but in the south it stays dry. Very warm upper level air will be pushing northwards and in places temperatures could reach 16C (61F).

Through Thursday and Friday the risk of rain becomes confined to the north west of the UK. Elsewhere it is expected to be mostly dry and very mild. Computer models suggest that temperatures could reach 17C (63F).

By the weekend high pressure begins to build northwards. That could allow cooler air to slowly begin filtering in from the southeast.
