    Dry to start in the south, while rain and thicker cloud affect northern areas. Cloud and rain spread southwards through the day. It will remain blustery initially, especially for exposed coasts, with winds easing later as skies clear. Unseasonably mild. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

    Tonight:

    Any lingering cloud to the south will clear through the evening to leave a dry night with plenty of clear spells. Winds becoming light and turning rather cool. Minimum temperature 10 °C.

    Friday:

    A chilly start to Friday, leading to drier and brighter day with plenty of sunny spells, although with a risk of showers throughout. Feeling noticeably cooler in the northwesterly breeze. Maximum temperature 13 °C.

    Mostly dry with sunny spells through the weekend and into Monday. Chilly nights bring a risk of frost and patchy fog. Breezier later especially across western coasts and hills.
