Fine in most of the UK

Most of the UK has another fine day with variable amounts of cloud and sunny spells. There will be a few exceptions, notably in northern and western Scotland and Northern Ireland, where thicker cloud may bring light outbreaks of rain. The odd light shower is also possible in northern England.

Generally warm. Temperatures range from 16°C in the far north to the mid 20°Cs in other areas. Check the weather radar for the most up to date view.
