A weak ridge of high pressure is trying to build in across many parts of the country today but won’t be strong enough to guarantee a completely dry day with further scattered showers breaking out. Further changeable conditions are expected in the coming days with low pressure systems pushing in off the Atlantic bringing more showers or longer spells of rain.
Although there is plenty of dry weather around to start off with this morning, scattered showers are affecting parts of northern, eastern and south-western England along with west parts of Scotland. The showers across England will tend to ease away this morning to leave much of England, Wales and Ireland with a fine and dry afternoon and only the odd isolated shower. However, the showers across western Scotland will tend to become more widespread across northern Britain, turning heavy in pleases with a risk of thunder. Top temperatures will be close to normal for many regions, but in the sunnier areas it will feel pleasantly warm with generally light winds.
The showers in the north will die away this evening and then many places become dry and clear overnight which will allow temperatures top drop back into single figures across northern regions. It will remain milder further to the south and southwest as cloud thickens from the southwest ahead of outbreaks of rain moving into much of Ireland, Wales central, southern and south-western England during the second half of the night. This rain pushes eastwards across England and Wales tomorrow, turning heavy in places, before clearer and more showery conditions follow on from the west. Meanwhile, much of Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England will see a bright day with a mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers, the showers mainly across the north, before more persistent rain arrives in the northwest late in the day.
