Patchy rain soon fades away this evening, leaving a dry but rather cloudy night. Chilly, though most places remaining frost free, with mist and patchy fog forming by dawn. Minimum temperature 8 °C.

Sunday:

Mainly settled, though still rather cloudy with a few spots of rain in the north. Light winds inland, but breezy along the coast. Feeling warm in the sunshine further south. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

High pressure becomes more dominant bringing largely fine and settled weather. Bright and sunny each day after early morning fog clears, with temperatures climbing well above average. Breezy at times.

Fine, dry and very warm across the majority of the UK at the start of this period with long clear or sunny spells. However, it is expected to be cloudier in the far north with some rain at times. Some of this rain will likely spread southwards late next week before clearing to leave a mainly dry and sunny weekend, although with temperatures closer to normal than on preceding days. Into the following week, it will probably turn more changeable, with dry, settled periods interspersed with some spells of wetter weather. This will bring some showers or longer spells of rain at times, which could be heavy and thundery. Temperatures will probably be near normal.

Fairly typical spring weather is expected during this part of May. Periods of fine and dry weather are likely to be interspersed with spells of wetter, more unsettled weather, with a risk of heavy rain and thunderstorms. Temperatures will most likely be near normal or slightly above.
