High pressure will be building close to the south of the country during the next few days bringing increasingly settled and warmer conditions with it, especially to more southern regions. However, low pressure isn't giving up without a fight and so more changeable conditions will continue to try an encroach from the west, but it is always likely to be north-western districts that see the worst of the cooler and more unsettled weather.
Apart from a few showers across parts of Wales, northern England and western Scotland, it is a dry start to Wednesday for many with some bright or sunny spells.
Many areas will see further sunny intervals today but showers, after easing away for a while, will return across parts of Wales and northern England during this afternoon. Meanwhile cloudy skies will develop across many northern and western regions ahead of outbreaks of rain moving into western Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland during the day, the rain turning locally heavy and persistent before clearing from the west late on. In the sunshine top temperatures will end up close to normal with highs of 18°C to 22°C towards the south and east, but it will be cooler in the north and west where it will also become breezy.
That band of cloud and rain continues to sink south-eastwards tonight but will become slow-moving across parts of southern Ireland, Wales and northern England as the rain and drizzle tends to become lighter and more patchy. To the south it will remain dry and rather muggy whilst showery conditions move into the far northwest. Tomorrow sees that weakening band of rain and drizzle edging a little further south but southern and south-eastern counties of England will remain bright and warm. Showers will develop to the north before more persistent rain arrives in the northwest later in the day.
