UKV, Friday 25th September [Tap animation to toggle cities]

Saturday: Patchy outbreaks of rain continue in the north west. Elsewhere it will be dry with variable amounts of cloud. Cooler in the south than recently.

Outlook: A transition to more unsettled weather is expected to develop through the coming days. The wettest conditions are likely to be in the west, and there is uncertainty about the extent of the rain risk in the east. It’s also possible that it could turn very warm and humid, at least for a time, in the south and east. Strong winds are also probable.
