Through Thursday a band of rain pushes into the west and north of the UK, but it becomes increasingly fragmented. There could also be a few hefty showers still in the south east. Other areas should be dry and bright. Feeling pleasantly warm in sunny spells.
Friday is looking mixed. A fragmenting band of showery rain clears southeastwards. Brighter conditions follow, but in the north west there could be showers at times.
Forecast confidence for Saturday is low. At the present time it is expected to mostly fine with warm sunny spells in southern and central England. To the north and west there is a greater risk of showers or longer periods of rain and it will be cooler.
