Thursday starts fine and there has been a touch of frost in places. Through the rest of the day it remains dry in most of the UK and warm sunny periods develop. There will be a couple of exceptions. In north eastern Britain thicker cloud could bring a few spots of rain. Also the risk of showers in southern England increases this afternoon. 

Temperatures range from a cool 9C (48F) in the north east to 22C (72F) in the London area. See the rain radar for the latest view.

Tomorrow it stays dry in the north. In the south and particularly the south west heavy showers are expected. At times they could merge to give longer outbreaks of rain. The wet conditions edge northwards and probably reach central counties by the late afternoon. It will feel cool in the wet areas and eastern Britain. A blustery wind also makes it feel chillier.

Saturday looks dry and bright in Scotland. Elsewhere there will be showery rain. Some brighter spells are likely, particularly in the south where it could become quite warm in the afternoon.

By Sunday showers become more scattered. In sunny spells it feels warm with temperatures in the south east possibly climbing to 21C (70F).

During Monday and Tuesday the risk of showery rain continues. By the middle of the week it is expected to become drier and warmer again.
