All change in the weather from today as a much cooler feel develops along with an increasing risk of showers or longer spells of rain. The change is coming about due to high pressure being replaced by low pressure with the unsettled conditions continuing through to the end of the week and into the weekend as an unseasonably deep low develops over the North Sea.
Although it is a bright start to the day towards the southeast of England, this is the exception rather than the rule with most places starting Wednesday off on a cooler and cloudier note. Showery outbreaks of rain are sinking southwards across central and western regions of England and Wales and this process continues today, some of the showers potentially turning heavy and thundery in the south. For parts of East Anglia and southeast England it is likely to remain mostly dry however, whilst drier, brighter conditions will be coming into the north and west although a few showers will feed into the north. No matter where you are today it will be feeling cooler as a northerly wind begins to pick up with top temperatures ranging from 10°C or 11°C in the north to 21°C or 22°C across southeast England.
As the northerly wind increases a touch tonight showers will tend to become confined to coastal regions exposed to those winds although cloud and outbreaks of rain and drizzle will move across south-eastern regions of England. Away from here, many inland regions will become dry with some clear spells and it will be a cooler night with temperatures dropping back into single figures, especially across central and northern areas. Tomorrow is then set to be a day of sunny spells and scattered showers, the showers mainly around windward coasts at first but becoming rather more widespread by the afternoon whilst temperatures will peak in the mid-teens at best.
