Sunday is looking dry and bright in southern regions. In the north showery outbreaks of rain push southwards and it will be windy. Temperatures in the south will be lower than in recent days.
Early next week high pressure becomes centred over the UK. It keeps the weather settled and during the days it should feel pleasant. The nights are likely to be chilly and patchy frost remains a risk. Through the second half of the week the high pressure centre may migrate eastwards into the continent. If that happens temperatures could rise further as a warm south or southwesterly flow develops.
