Tomorrow will be dry and most places have bright spells. After a cold start it feels pleasant in the afternoon sunshine.
Through Sunday patchy outbreaks of rain affect much of the north and west. The south and east stay drier and brighter. Temperatures in the south east should be a little higher than in recent days.
During the first half of next week weather fronts slowly edge southeastwards. Outbreaks of rain associated with them become patchier and amounts in central and south eastern England are expected to be small. Once they clear away high pressure builds back in from the west. It brings the prospect of another another settled period.
