Saturday starts with showery rain in the north west of the UK. Elsewhere it is dry but there is more cloud around than recently. Through the day patchy rain continues to affect Northern Ireland and Scotland. Other areas will be mostly dry, although a few light showers are possible in central and south eastern counties. Cloud steadily breaks and in the afternoon sunny spells become more widespread.

Temperatures range from 11C (52F) in the far north to 18C (64F) in the south. See the rain radar for the latest view.

Change later next week

Monday is looking fine in southern and central regions. In the north a few showers are possible. It will be warm, particularly in the south where temperatures could reach 24C (75F).

The warm and settled period continues in the southern half of the country on Tuesday and Wednesday. In the north west there is a risk of rain but the north east should be mostly dry.

Later in the week a transition to a more changeable theme is considered likely. All regions could see showers or longer spells of rain. The driest and brightest conditions will probably be in the south and south east.
