Turning much colder

Friday bring spells of warm sunshine. In the south east temperatures could reach 24C (75F). Showers bubble up during the course of the day and in places they could be heavy. Across the northern half of Scotland they become more frequent.

During the weekend a major change takes place. Saturday will be very warm in the southern half of the country but there is risk of showers which could be heavy in the south west. In the north outbreaks of rain steadily push southwards. Over the Scottish mountains they turn to snow as Arctic air arrives. Showery rain clears southwards through Sunday and the cold air sweeps down over all regions. Wintry showers develop in northern and eastern counties.

Next week starts cold and showery. Nighttime frosts are likely. Temperatures gradually recover as high pressure builds in from the west. Later on it could turn more changeable with showery rain returning.
