It will be a dry morning with plenty of sunny spells, perhaps cloudy to start in places but cloud will quickly clear during the morning. Staying dry in the afternoon with some sunny spells but becoming generally cloudier. Feeling warm. Maximum temperature 17 °C.

A cloudy evening and a dry start but rain soon spreading eastwards. Cloudy overnight with rain for all parts and bringing some heavy downpours at times. Minimum temperature 6 °C.

Friday:

A cloudy and generally wet day with rain and some heavy downpours at times. Some drier spells possible in the east through the afternoon. Maximum temperature 13 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Rain clearing to the east Saturday with sunny spells and showers in the afternoon. Cloudy Sunday with rain, heavy at times. Becoming drier and more settled Monday with sunny spells.

Most likely starting off widely fine with sunny spells, following the clearance of early morning mist and fog. This most likely in the south, whilst in the north there's a greater chance of more cloud which may take some time to clear. There's a small chance that fine and very warm weather could extend right across the country over the following days, but it's more likely that cloud/rain in the northwest will sink southeast introducing more changeable and cooler conditions for a time mid-week. It then becomes roughly equal chances that we see a resumption of mainly fine and dry conditions versus a continuation of more changeable weather with a mixture of rain and drier interludes.

Forecast confidence is lower than average for this range, although fairly typical for late Spring. A typical mixture of drier and settled periods, and periods of wetter and more unsettled conditions, is on balance slightly more likely than predominantly unsettled or predominantly settled. Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, with a slightly increased chance of warm or hot spells. Any such spells could be accompanied by locally heavy showers and thunderstorms.
