Mixed weather continues

Wednesday brings showery condition and it remains windy with gales in places. Temperatures will be close to the seasonal average.

During the rest of the week the unsettled theme continues. Thursday and Friday look milder in the south but by the weekend colder air returns from the northwest. All regions have showers or longer spells of rain and in the north there is a likelihood of snow at times. Even central and southern counties could see some wet snow.
