 Sunnier Day Added : Fri 10 July : 06:03 BST
A ridge of high pressure means the working work ends on a relatively fine note across much of Britain and Ireland - before more cloud and some rain spreads into the west in advance of the next Atlantic weather system.
Low pressure to the east is now moving away and will no longer play much of a role in our weather. Instead we look west to see what is coming our way, and unfortunately its another low in time for the weekend. In the meantime, we have a pretty decent day in store today with plenty of sunshine around, helping to lift those temperatures after what was a much cooler start to the day than we have seen for some time. There will be some patchy cloud around, but not enough to spoil the day in many central and eastern areas. However, further west it will be a different story as the cloud will continue to thicken up, and will eventually bring outbreaks of rain into Ireland and the southwest of England and Wales. Temperatures on the whole will be up on recent days, with many places making the low 20's, and with light winds it will feel very pleasant indeed.
Central and eastern areas will remain dry tonight, with clear spells. Cloud and patchy rain will continue in the west, with many coasts and hills becoming misty. This then takes us into an unsettled weekend as outbreaks of heavy rain spread north-eastwards on Saturday, although many northern and eastern parts of the UK will remain dry for much of daylight hours. Rain will gradually clear away from the east on Sunday - although it may be the afternoon or evening before it clears the southeast - with sunshine and showers following. Temperatures will be close to or just above normal, warmest in the southeast.
The unsettled theme continues into next week, although south-eastern areas could be dry and warm for much of the time. Email to Friend
