The weekend will bring mixed weather. Today remains blustery and showery. Tomorrow will be dry in much of the UK, although outbreaks of rain start pushing up across south western Britain and Northern Ireland during the second half of the day.

Showers mostly in the north and west

All of the UK has a blustery day with sunny spells and showers. The showers will be heaviest and most frequent in the north and west. Over higher parts of the Scottish mountains, they could be wintry at times.

Temperatures range from 8°C in northern Scotland to 16°C near the south coast. Check the weather radar for the most up to date view.

Tonight:
Showers become more scattered and increasingly restricted to coastal counties. Clear periods allow temperatures to drop sharply, leading to ground frost in places, particularly in the northern half of the UK and the Welsh valleys.

Tomorrow:
Outbreaks of rain push up across south western Britain and Northern Ireland in the afternoon. Other areas have a dry day. Cloud builds from the west, but in much of northern and eastern Britain it remains bright.

Monday: Patchy outbreaks of rain push eastwards, and there could be some heavy bursts in places. However, it will be very mild, and if sunny spells develop it could become quite warm.

Outlook: Changeable. Showers or longer spells of rain are likely in all areas to begin with, but the potential for wet conditions increasingly becomes focused on the north west of the UK. In southern and central areas there should be a good deal of dry weather through the middle part of the week. It is likely to be warm, at least in the southern half of the UK.
