Through Thursday outbreaks of rain affect Northern Ireland and western Scotland. Elsewhere isolated showers are possible but for most it will be dry. Some warm sunny intervals develop across England and Wales with the best of them in the east.
Friday probably brings more of the same. Wet weather continues in the north west and it will be windy in the north. Southern and central regions stay dry and quite warm.
During the weekend cooler air and patchy outbreaks of rain push southwards. There is uncertainty about the timing and southern counties probably remain dry and quite warm on Saturday. By Sunday temperatures dip closer to the average in the south and in the north it may be cold enough for snow over high ground.
Next week high pressure is expected to bring a good deal of fine weather. It could be quite chilly in the north and east early on but temperatures should rise again as milder air returns from the southwest.
