High pressure will bring a very pleasant Sunday to much of Britain and Ireland with plenty of warm sunshine to be enjoyed. However, a change is in the offering with a frontal system approaching the far west and northwest later today bringing some rain with it, and this feature will be sinking south-eastwards across Britain and Ireland during the next couple of days or so.
It's a relatively cool and fresh start to the day for many places but temperatures will pick up readily in the sunshine today with most places enjoying a fine and dry day with just some patchy fair weather cloud bubbling up during the course of the morning and into the afternoon. It will feel warm by this afternoon with maximums of 20°C to 24°C, but coasts will be a touch cooler as sea breezes develop. There will, however, be a couple of exceptions, with a band of thicker cloud and some patchy rain or drizzle affecting the far northeast of Scotland, including the Northern Isles, keeping it rather cool here with temperatures struggling to make the low-teens. Meanwhile, cloud will increase across western parts of Ireland this morning with this cloud extending to much of the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland and westernmost parts of Scotland this afternoon ahead of outbreaks of rain and drizzle arriving across the far west.
That cloud and rain will slowly sink south-eastwards tonight across many parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, the rain reaching parts of northwest England and Wales by dawn. To the southeast it will remain fine and dry and this means a fine start to the new working week here before cloudier skies and patchy rain head in from the northwest although the far southeast of England will probably remain fine and warm for much of the day.
