High pressure will become increasingly dominant through the coming days. It will bring a return to settled weather, although initially things remain more mixed in the north. Medium term forecast confidence is unusually high, with computer models signalling the quiet period continuing through next week.

Showers become lighter and more scattered through the day. Many places will miss them, particularly in southern, central and eastern England.

Friday: Patchy fog lifts leaving suny spells in England and Wales. In Scotland and Northern Ireland a band of rain steadily pushes southeastwards. Some heavy burst are possible on its western side. Temperatures will be above the seasonal average.

Outlook: A band of rain will be slow moving in the north on Saturday before fragmenting and fading away on Sunday. Elsewhere, it will be dry with variable amounts of cloud and daytime temperatures will generally be a little above average. However, fog could begin to linger, bringing quite chilly conditions where it persists.

High pressure is expected to be dominant next week, bringing more settled conditions to much of the UK. Temperatures may start to dip.
