Tonight, patchy outbreaks of rain push into the south. In much of the rest of the UK it becomes dry, although in western Scotland thicker cloud brings drizzly conditions.
Tomorrow, the remnants of the rain in the south east clear to leave dry conditions in most areas. The exception is the north west where patchy outbreaks of rain become heavier and more persistent in the late afternoon and evening. Much of the UK has quite a warm day.
