Saturday: Showery in the north, dry and bright in the south. Temperatures will be similar to yesterday's.

Outlook: Showers become more scattered in the north. Other areas will be dry with sunny periods, but in the afternoon outbreaks of rain may start pushing in from the west. Early next week, changeable conditions are expected, but forecast details remain very uncertain. Heavy, showery spells of rain are possible across the southern half of the UK, and consequently temperatures could vary considerably over short distances.
