Showers will affect the south east and East Anglia today, but other parts of the UK have a fine day. Tomorrow the risk of showers could extend into central areas, and the weekend as a whole will be rather cool. Next week there are signs of the weather becoming more unsettled, with wet and potentially very windy periods affecting all areas.
