Another changeable day with sunny spells and cloudier periods. Showers are likely, these heavy with perhaps some thunder, but drier periods more prevalent than on Thursday. Breezy at times. Maximum temperature 18 °C.

Sunny spells and blustery showers on Saturday, these perhaps easing later. Much windier on Sunday with heavy rain likely for a time. Probably brighter on Monday with showers. Feeling cooler.

Likely a continuation of the unsettled theme at first with further showers each day on a brisk westerly wind. Risk of some stronger winds and heavy rain around the middle of the week, although this looks a low risk at this time. Later in the period, there may be a trend toward more in the way of settled and drier interludes interspersed with further periods of rain and showers. These look more likely across southern areas of the UK, but may extend to other parts at times. Temperatures will likely be close to average or slightly below overall, but if we start to see more in the way of dry weather later in the period, temperatures could recover back to a little above average at times.

This period is likely to be changeable. Areas of low pressure are likely at times, especially towards the north of the UK. These will bring spells of rain and showers, some of which are likely to be heavy at times with a risk of hail and thunder, and some windy conditions, especially if any deep lows form. Some drier, more settled spells are also likely, especially towards the south, perhaps more particularly early in the period when higher pressure may be more dominant. Temperatures are likely to be close to or a little above average overall, although chilly nights with some fog patches are possible when and where skies are clear and winds light.
