Friday: Patchy outbreaks of rain clear from the southeast, leaving dry and bright conditions across much of the UK, with just a few scattered showers. Temperatures will be similar to recent days.

Outlook: Mixed. Outbreaks of rain in the north push southwards and fragment through the weekend. It could become warm in the south, but developments early next week are uncertain. Some models are showing temperatures rising further and fine weather for a while as high pressure builds. Others are keeping a more changeable pattern in place.
