It has been a recurring feature for much of this summer and it continues today. Yes, we're talking about that familiar northwest/southeast split once again with much of the country enjoying a fine end to the working week. However, for the north and west of Scotland it will be cooler, cloudier and breezier with further spells of rain at times.

A mostly dry and fine day is in store for many parts of Britain and Ireland then with plenty of sunny spells and just the slight chance of an isolated shower towards western coasts. The main exception will be across the far north and west of Scotland where once again it will be a much cloudier and breezier day with outbreaks of rain at times, heaviest and most persistent over western hills and mountains. Temperatures will be a touch higher than yesterday, ranging from 15°C to 19°C across the north and west and 20°C to 24°C across southern and eastern England.

Tonight and tomorrow bring more of the same with further spells of rain affecting the north and west of Scotland, accompanied by brisk winds. Some showery rain may also edge into the west and southwest of Ireland, but for much of the rest of Britain and Ireland the dry weather continues. The best of the sunshine will be across England and Wales tomorrow where temperatures will once again climb into the very warm category.
